Just Like Home
As I am sure you can imagine, things stateside are just a little bit different than things back in Tanzania. Life is so different and sometimes I feel like I am on a different planet but yesterday something happened that made me feel like I was back home in my beloved Tanzania. My dad has graciously allowed me to work out at his gym. Yesterday morning, I was striding away on the elliptical machine, you will never guess what happen... That's right, the power went out! It made me feel like life was normal again. Everything being reliable and working all the time was starting to mess with my head. I couldn't help but laugh at everyone else's response to the "emergency" situation. Needless to say, I felt right at home.

To make you feel better, as usual, we lost power again. Just as Julia and I sat down to eat a lovely meal of Mexican Fiesta Rice (Julia calls it simply Mexican Rice but I feel we needed to add zest to something so why not the rice?), the power went out. So, there we were, a romantic candlelight dinner with Julia and Mexican Fiesta rice. Nice.
You'll never beleive this but driving home from work today I saw a bumper sticker that said "I Love Tanzania" and it had the Tanzanian flag on it! I flipped out and I didn't recognize the person driving it, but I was so excited!
