    A Cultural Exchange

    Most people who've never been in Africa, especially Tanzania, East Africa, can't fathom how different my life is now. Much to the amusement (and amazement) of my American family and friends, I must wear ankle-length skirts with tops, or long dresses at work all of the time to show respect for the culture. I'm incredibly grateful that the only... Read moreChevron

    Frustrations, Chalk Eaters and Going on Safari With Artificial Hips

    I seldom lose my temper in Africa, because I'm usually relaxed and very happy; however, life as I know it threw me a new challenge today. Although I'm normally very laid-back, I feel strongly in following rules and guidelines and would never do anything to upset the proverbial "apple cart" (gee, I'm in Africa -- should I say "mango... Read moreChevron

    Flip Flops And African Mornings

      It will be incredibly hard to return to the fast-paced life in America. I absolutely love the peace of waking here after a chilly night and a softly quiet African morning. As I unwind from my mosquito netting (I don't know how I get that way) I look forward to my first cup of coffee, even though it's instant. I sit outside under the... Read moreChevron

    Part II -- CLOVES, DALA DALAS, AND A MOUNTAIN OF STAIRS

    Our dinner on the Muslim island of Pemba was "Chips and Goat" -- the meat was tiny, dried bits that we HOPED was goat and not something more exotic, so we cheerfully just swallowed it and ate lots of potatoes!   After literally spicing up our lives, we stopped by a forest preserve, again, seldom visited by tourists.
