Do you like to Party?
This looks pretty cool. Jason in Arizona sent me this link hoping that Mink Hippie and I would write about some of our burning man experiences last year or maybe other great World Festivals we’ve been to. I like it.

Dead dolphins found in Zanzibar
A friend of mine just bought a backpackers’ hostel in Zanzibar. It looks like just about one of the most gorgeous places on earth and I can’t wait to visit.
