A message from Carlos - He's chattered a taxi!

Another email from the very keen Carlos. Again, lots of mentions about how much everything is costing him! I am actually still quite taken aback at the fact that he does actually read my emails and responds appropriately, unlike 'Justin'. I reckon he will go f or the kill in a day or two! I wonder how much he will need me to lend him?



Hello Sweetie,

It it true that they have Museum the hotel manager brief me so many things about Senegal,i think is a nice place to visit,i saw so many people putting on a traditional cloth called Ganila,the hotel manager promise to take me to a lives show on Saturday where both men and women displaying their traditional dance. There is amazing site here called GoreĆ© Island(Slave House) is a poignant reminder of GoreĆ©'s role as the center of West African slave trade.

A message to Carlos - a bit of culture.

My reply to Carlos, advising him on some of the local culture!


Hey Carlos baby!!

I just logged on to email you and you had beat me to it! I was overjoyed to hear from you again.

I am so glad you arrived safely and that everything is going to plan for you. It certainly is an expensive time for you Carlos. I do hope the company you will be working for will refund you the money you have had to spend. If not, I fear you will be seriously out of pocket.

So, besides the business side of your trip, have you managed to see any of the sights in Senegal? I hear the The IFAN Museum is an amazing place to visit should you find yourself with some free time. Lively, imaginative displays show masks and traditional dress across the region (including Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Benin and Nigeria) and provide an excellent overview of styles, without bombarding you with more than you can take in. The museum is a testimony to former President Senghor's interest in promoting African art and culture. You can also see beautiful fabrics and carvings, drums, musical instruments and agricultural tools. Sounds fantastic doesn't it Carlos? I do so like a bit of culture. I hope that when we are finally together, that our lives will include many trips to museums, galleries and lectures.

Right Carlos, it is late and I too need to sleep. I have had a busy day doing a charity custard bath for the sheep refuge ( I raised £78.67, two buttons and a couple of chocolate coins)  and tomorrow I am meeting with some designers with a view to them fashioning some arms for my new venture.

Take care my darling sweet man. May tomorrow bring you love, luck and happiness in bucketfulls!

Your ever lovingand devoted Tess xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
