Most Memorable Travel Experience
* Horseback riding on Rhodes Hall Plantation and galloping along the beach in Negril, Jamaica.

* Being pulled out to dance by a young Malian woman at a 'circumcision' ceremony in Bamako, Mali.

* In Tambacounda, having a little Senegalese girl stroke my hair, then walk over to a friend & stroke her hair and come back to do it several more times for each girl.

So many to recount...I'll have to write more later.
