Connecting flights...

Flight to Paris about to take off. All French crew, this should be
fun. I love hearing and learning other languages! I will try to say
more than "Bon appetite" and "creme brûlée".

I can also say "euro" and that is a very important word! Time zones
are the big thing right now. Paris is about six hours ahead of us...
Before daylight savings time... Okay, hope I can sleep.

I am hoping to journal and also read some from a book called "The End
of Poverty" by Jeffrey Sachs. Heard of him? Will present a unique
perspective on current world poverty since he's visited over 100
countries on the last 10-15 years... Special focus on Africa, China,
India, and Russia.

Update from trip: Dave Martin says not to wear sandals in Africa so
that your feet don't get parasites. Sounds like a helpful tip,
wouldn't you say?
