Off We Go Again



Off we go to Tanzania. Hey, I forgot to mention that Andy, Gabriel, Jamie, and I finally tired of everyone telling us we couldn't walk the three blocks to the school. So, we threw caution out the window and marched purposefully to the school. We quickly became relaxed when we saw a schoolgirl walking with her backpack. Gabriel faked a limp, hoping to get a good story as the weak prey. Needless to say, we felt very proud to have made it to school, until we looked and found that we had walked down Princess of Wales Street.

Had a great time in Soweto last night with Claudia and her fiance Faisle. The waiter told us all about growing up in Apartheid Soweto, and all of the history. Before 1994, they didn't have any street lights, etc. It was another of those unbelievable stories. Had home cookin' out of bent and chipped pots. Amazingly good.

We leave in an hour for Dar es Salaam. We'll spend the night, then get to Kigoma tomorrow.

Posted some Shutterfly photos of the last day with the kids and adults in Joburg.

Not sure about Internet in Dar. Will post if possible.

Many members of my Delta Kappa Gamma Women Teacher's Honorary Society Chapter spoke to me tonight about your stories on this blog. They, too, are thoroughly enjoying traveling along with all of you. Your story is touching so many people. It's a vicarious adventure for all of us.
