The Salt Flats

So, given complaints that the last header had zero to do with this blog, other than that I thought it was pretty, I snagged the above National Geographic picture of the salt makers at Teguidda-n-Tessoumt, Niger. Apparently they let the dry air evaporate the brine pools and then collect the salt.

Niger and Lions and Bears, Oh My!

Found out on Sunday that I'm going to Niger in January as a Crop Extension Agent. Woot! Decided to start a new blog as I start towards a new life. Will keep the old one, too, for now, but thought a new blog was in order :)
