Highlights of today...

• Being invited to a 50th wedding anniversary party up in the foothills tomorrow.
• Going to a tailor to have a dress custom made for about 7 dollars
• Buying a beautiful African dress... I'll be sure to post pictures when I can. It is hot pink.
• Having two Jesuits try to convince me that I would be a very good priest and should consider that as an option if the Catholic Church ever gets its act together
• Watching music videos
• Seeing someone wearing a Steelers jersey in town
• Seeing a huge rat on the table in the kitchen and not even flinching... its normal... no big deal
• Going to the second-hand market. It was basically the biggest flea market I have ever seen and all of the clothes are donations that are made in America to places like Good Will and Salvation Army who, in turn, ship them to Africa. They tried to raise all the prices for us because we are white but luckily we had a friend with us.
• Spending the day with Catherine, our new Tanzanian friend. She took us around to shops and the tailor and the second-hand market to help us get used to shopping in Moshi. However, the best part of the day was when her and me and Mary Beth were sitting in the living room, drinking soda, watching music videos and giggling about boys. It was one of the first relaxing moments we have had and a nice break from being constantly overwhelmed by meeting new people and having new experiences.

Today was a very good day.
