This is probably my last blog entry before I return to the States for the Holidays, because I'm on the way to Southern Tanzania tomorrow. I went to Dar Es Salaam last week. I bought a bunch of paintings, so I'll have an awesome apartment when I get back, and I bought a bunch of gifts. I also got to spend some time on the beach on Friday and Saturday, which made me feel a bit smug, since I hear there was snow in Iowa and Minnesota. Yesterday and the day before I was in a small village called Mang'ola for drug shopkeeper training. I'm starting to be able to understand more Swahili so it's easier to understand what's happening at the training and if people are enjoying the training and finding it helpful. I got to interview some of the women at the training to help Karla with her article too, which was fun, they seemed to get a lot out of the training, although it's hard to tell for sure because Tanzanians are too polite to say otherwise. That's about all that's new here. I'll see you all pretty soon.

I would love to see photos of the paintings you bought.
