Well In am really teting my typing skills now the key board I am using has most of the letters rubbed off ... and I only hahve a few minites
The trip has been great from a tourist perspective .. I got off the plane in Dar Es Salaam and wast taken to a centre to get some rest for my 4:00 AM trip to Tabora. Tabora is 1200 kms away and on these roads thats a 16 hour trip!
The roads were a mess, some were OK but most were nothing more then goat paths.
I had a nice piece written but have to use their computors, can't connect mine. I will use a memory stick tommorrow
This country is amazing, the houses amd villages are something to see. Mud huts with grass roofs, fences made with sticks and grass.

Dresses are incredibly beautiful ... so mvibrant and thats regardless of income level
I'm having eating issues, the food is not that appealing, I have to get a stronger constituion for this. Chicken all but one meal so far ... so yu say thats good until I tell you I think I saw the guy running around the yard just before I ate him. Its tough and has a funny smell.
No coffee since I left home, I tried yesterday, but the coffee is a a powdered version of instant. When I dumped it in it fizzes all over the table. Couldn"t use cream, since its not Pasturiezed ... so guess what no milk in 3 days!!
I did meet our Child ... he is so cuteI got some great pcis.
Well it says I have to sign off now ... so more later!
Keep thye prasyers coming!!
