Ok Todd, you want it, you got it. Here are directions to Khartoum University (The police station was too hard):

Start at Tuti Island (the crescent shaped island between Khartoum and Omderman). This time look for the South East corner of the island (it is gray). The tip of the island points East, along the Blue Nile river. Zoom as much as you can and follow the river East. Just South East of the tip of the island, you will see a white boat. South of the boat is the Presidential Palace. Keep following the shoreline to the East and you will see the Sailing Club (where I often go). Look for the road which runs East-West; it is just South of the sailing club. Follow that road East for a couple blocks. You will see a large dirt field (South of the road) with a shape that looks like an electric guitar in the upper right corner. You are now on the campus of Khartoum University. Look for the bright white building in the center of campus. That is where tests are held. North of that building is the Library, built by General Gordon. The buildings East of the library are where I hold class.

Apologies on taking so long to get back to you on this one. Jennifer and I were in Puerto Vallarta for a week and I've been busy trying to get caught up at work and home since. Directions, again, excellent. Found the campus and the large white building. Had difficulty figuring out library the the room you teach in, but I get the idea. Very much appreciate the Google Maps instructions on finding your home, where you teach, where you go to sail. Between it and the pictures you've been sharing, it makes imagining what you are experiencing and seeing much, much easier! Thanks! Todd
