Passport Update. Also, introducing the famous baobab tree.

My passport has found its way home. Hallelujah. Ends up the embassy wanted a letter straight from Senegal, not the one I sent them from the US university that is sponsoring the program.

Also the visa has a baobab tree on it. Have we talked about those yet? Apparently it's said that the tree is growing upside down and its roots are reaching for the sky. I'll forego the Little Prince reference for now, I'm sure it will pop up later in the semester.
