Chapter Next

"I learn by going where I have to go."

I'm just wrapping up my first week at the FAME Africa clinic in Karatu, Tanzania.

I thought I would keep a detailed account here, vividly describing my experiences in Tanzania, but there's too much. From the moment the plane descended: the mud huts, the dust devils, the people everywhere, giraffes in the road, Dr. Frank's booming voice at the clinic, the Maasai in traditional dress getting an echocardiogram... it's too much to wrap my head around in one go.

So instead we'll take things one day at a time. I'll try to post regularly, although life has been very busy here for the past week. In keeping with my last few moves, this part of my life seems like it will have very little to do with what came before it.

I'll try to put pictures up too, even though I never remember to take my camera out.

Until next time... birdhouses.

Inhabited by some colorful and very chattery weavers just out the window of my office.
