Missing Africa [photos]

I’ve been feeling a little homesick the last couple of days. And then it hit me today that seven months ago this week, I was there. If the measure of love for a place is how longingly you dream to return after you’ve left, then I love Burkina Faso, Africa.

I miss the colors…

I miss the Jason Bourne style hotels…
