Kigoma!

I'm currently in Kigoma, Tanzania. I huffed, I puffed, and I climbed up the most beautiful mountains in search of chimpanzees. In short, we found man's closest relative, and damn, were they cute! This trip, far off the beaten path, into a Tanzania I have not yet explored, has exceeded every expectation. Kigoma is so remote that our plans were not solidified until the day before take off. In a series of fortunate coincidences I am about to board a WWI ferry and head south for 2 days to the last port in TZ.

I've been keeping notes and a full report is on its way. This trip, long awaited and well deserved, is just what the doctor ordered. I'm eager to get home, check on my chickens, rile up the batik group, and play some netball with my 7th graders.

I've neglected my blog and apologize. In the blur of the new year I simply have found my life unremarkable. Day in and day out are very much the same. Stay in touch and I promise a new and fabulous entry in the next 2 weeks.
