So that's it. I'm back. My Tanzanian adventure is over. Or...has it only begun? I learned so much and as hot and dirty as it was, I was starting to get used to it at the end. I was just starting to settle into the lifestyle, the slow pace, communicating ... Read more >

Exhausted, sick, and sad...I watched Neema lead the kids through some songs for us. I took some photos and more video. As she was leading them through a goodbye song, she stopped and burst into tears. Sobbing tears. Which of course made me cry ... Read more >

Cold wet west coast valley was my location. Tramping on a trail to the horseshoe flats hut was tough going and I had doubts about my safety and the sun setting on my adventure before I got to the hut. I pushed on past the creeks and swampy areas with ... Read more >
