This morning, I woke up in Africa. What a joy. How amazing! Two days ago, I left the familiar ground of Minnesota in an airplane filled with travelers heading all over the world, and now, I am on the other side of the planet, spending time with my daughter in a world I have only dreamed about.
We spent today running errands and walking around Arusha, Tanzania, a world entirely separate and different from the one I am used to. In the shadow of Mt. Meru, we navigated the busy streets teeming with traffic and people. I have seen where Erin lives, explored the byways that she has called home for four months, and have become familiar with the words you must utter over and over whenever you are out - hapana asante, which means no thank you!
