Homeward Bound

We arrived in Tanzania a year ago carrying little but warm-weather clothes, research materials, a few items for the kitchen and a passel of books. We lucked out with a rented house that is open, airy, congenial to good times and soon managed to stock it with enough creature comforts to make it seem like a real home. We were totally lucky in having the year sprinkled with dear friends who come out to see us followed by beloved family members who came out in June along with Erica and Nathan brightening up the place periodically all year long.

Later this month we’ll be making a two-week return to the US. We’ll be in Columbus, OH, from the 19th to the 26th and then we’ll spend a week in the DC, PA, and VA area before coming back to Morogoro on September 4. It will be great to see our much-missed friends in Columbus again and spend time with family scattered here and there. All that and Graeter’s ice cream!! Yes, I’m really looking forward to this.
