I remember the warm air when I got off the plane, the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, remember looking all over for a familiar face, feeling afraid at being away from home, feeling overwhelmed at the thought of being in Africa !. I remember the stops at the roadside restaurants, watching the mountains looking down at me, a donkey with velvety soft ears. I remember peaking into every shop - everything was hung on nails from posts, so much art - so much culture. I was trying to grasp the significance of everything - why there were curtains over doors, why the sidewalks were made of tiles, why I had to sit at the back of the restaurant. The salty air at the beach, discovering i can soak my figs in olive oil, discovering a million things to do with olive oil. It was a magical trip, I enjoyed it tremendously. I wait for the day I can return and take long walks and admire the architecture and sit down to a pile of schwa.
