Mauritania

 Just when it seemed like life couldn’t get any better…two wonderful friends flew over from the States to join me on a six-day adventure through Mauritania, including four days in the desert, camping each night in a new, amazing spot…

That’s a wrap on Cape Verde

 What a beautiful country. I’m posting this before I even take off and I miss it already. 

So long, Santo Antão

Man, am I going to miss this friendly, gorgeous island. It’s been a blissful couple of weeks.

Delgadinho viewpoint

 The kind souls who took me on the incredibly scenic Corda Road to Cova Crater (unfortunately draped in heavy fog on this day) showed me a video from this particular viewpoint taken during the rainy season, when these stunning mountains are blanketed in green like Ireland and waterfalls drop thousands of feet like something out of my wildest dreams. Definitely planning now to time a return visit in hopes of seeing such a sight with my own eyes before I depart this amazing planet…

Fontainhas

 Straight out of National Geographic. Seriously.
