Got some more pictures finally. I also sprinkled some of my older posts with a few pictures.

I thought I wasn't sick anymore, but I fainted once on Monday, and then twice on Wednesday. Probably just something left over from the dysyntery- because that probably drained my system. Feeling better today, lots of rest yesterday, and read a lot. The battle with food is getting better. I've resigned myself to enjoying rice, and taking in some Ugali when I can. Ugali is like a really thick mash potatoes dish that you eat with beans, or greens, or cabbage, or anything that you can scoop, because that is how you eat Ugali. You take a chunk of it off the mound, roll it up into a ball with your right hand (The left hand traditionally is used for wiping after you use the bathroom here, so peple do everythin with their right hands) then you press a divet in the ball to scoop up the food. It's kind of fun, and I like it better than rice, which surprises people here, because Ugali is cheaper, and lower on the class list of food.




Let the slide show begin...


This first picture is foremost, as it gives evidence to the fact that Leaf fans are EVERYWHERE!! The man next to me is wearing a Leafs Jersey. Sad the picture doesn't capture the magic all that well :( maybe next time... The Hockey Jerseys are everywhere.




This is a picture of the Ulguru Mountains to which I wrote my final Anthropology paper on to get my degree:




These are pictures from my birthday. The Indian Ocean (sort of) and our view in Bagamoyo.




My house... I'll have pics of the inside as soon as I'm done moving in... it's a slow process.










Took me forever to load these, so I'll write more later.

I imagine building part of house or something, but I'm not sure... just thought I'd put in a picture showing the whole carrying things on the head thing.
