Another post, another three hours

Do not come to Tanzania for its fantastic connection speeds or reliability. Especially if you ever plan on checking g-mail. FYI.

In other news, Africa remains cool (in the slang sense, not the temperature sense). It has recently started raining in the evenings and we are now approaching the theoretical beginning of the short rainy season.

My sister is definitely a sister. She has begun doing sister things with the family like joke around and not work all the time. Call your bookies, the decision is in.

Although I have some nice pictures, I cannot post them yet because coming to town is always a surprise. Also, I don't take as many pictures as I would like because I don't want to flash that kind of cash regularly.

I know this update isn't anything spectacular, but I really have settled into a routine: wake up, bath, breakfast, school, tea, school, lunch, school, home, study, dinner, bath, sleep. Lather, rinse, repeat. During down time, I read my "Where There Is No Doctor" book, which gives you practical advice for dealing with parasites - every word is poetry to me. I'm learning Kiswahili at an average rate and I am pleased to be able to do more than greet people. Next week I start teaching actual Tanzanians and I'm very excited about that.

Hope things are well in you lives.
