No, I have not left yet: I go tomorrow. But I woke up this morning thrilled to see a perfect arc of a rainbow across the western sky from horizon to horizon, and immediately grabbed my camera and ran outside in my nightgown to shoot it, oblivious to the rain. It rains so little here in LA it's rare to see a rainbow, and even more so a complete 180 degrees. My friend Susana once told me that in Sierra Leone where she comes from they say the rainbow signals that an elephant is giving birth, which I guess is a good thing. I do hope this is a good omen for my journey.
