In Tanzania

Just wanted to let everyone know we're safe and sound in Tanzania.  For the last two weeks, we've been staying with the Mwanza team, about three hours away from Geita, where we'll be living.  They've been great.  We kind of see their team as an extension of our team, being so close, so we're happy to get to know them better.  

We now officially have Tanzanian driver's licenses, no car though.  We've been driving Carson and Holly's around, getting used to driving on the left. It's surprisingly not that weird-feeling.  I got to have a root canal this morning, wahoo.  Brett's favorite Tanzanian drink is Bitter Lemon Soda and mine is Pinenut.  That would be pineapple and coconut, not the actual pinenut.  We have already eaten more beans and rice in the last two weeks than in the last 6 months combined, which Brett is sooo happy about, and we've learned that galoshes really come in handy during the rainy season.  

I'll try to post some pictures soon, and hopefully update regularly enough that you won't stop checking.

  2. Root canal? ick.

    Glad to see you are not so far away that the internet can't reach you. :)

  3. I echo Daisha's question/comment! Guess that's one way to integrate into society quickly!
