Hello Diane,
Thanks for the Kudos, I appreciate the
support.
I was in a way, hoping to enlighten people to the
idea, this is me, a real person, I am really here in Togo, I am not sitting in
an office, writing a story, when you pick up my diary and start reading, it is
not perfect.
The media tends to create a sense of stories and
writing, whereby everything has to have exclamation marks, full of hyperbole and
fiction Normal life even in Togo is normal.
I was laughing at the money part, this is the
essential information a person need to travel to a country. How much does it
cost, essential travel knowledge and what I would love to leave out, take tons
of time to remember, but I know somebody, somewhere is thinking.
I will go to Togo, how much does it cost, it is safe,
where will I live.
Thanks
Live is Good Andy in Atakpame, Togo West Africa April

Message: Hi Andy,
I-ve been reading your blog for a couple of years now and still enjoy
it. It-s like I say to myself, "I think I-ll check out what Andy is
doing".
Your past few months of blogging have really been good, very intospective as
well as informative. Don-t listen to the negatives, the small everyday
things are what interest me and probably many others considering the popularity
of your blog. I remember the shock and pleasure of reading Keroac the
first time. His book about being a fire lookout alone on top of a mountain
was groundbreaking for me, since it was my first experience of the personal
narrative dealing with so called insignificant everyday activities.
Anyway, sorry so long-winded.
Sorry too about your accident, Diane
Thank you, Andy HoboTraveler.com https://www.hobotraveler.com/blogger.html
