Leaving today
For two weeks in Dar es Salaam. I may check email once or twice. See you, Intertubes, later!

There’s a song by the Roches that we often sing when visiting family in Ireland, called, appropriately enough, “Going away to Ireland Soon”. However, this family visit is not, for a change, to Ireland. This one is to Tanzania.
Last night I dreamt about water quality, about making sure my toothbrushing water was boiled. I think of myself as well-traveled, but this will be my first trip to somewhere other than North America north of the Rio Grande, western Europe, or Japan. And all those places are importantly the same: First-World.
So this will be an interesting departure. I’ll be internet-blackout from about the 19th of this month to the 3rd of next, and will come back with pictures
I’m back in Colorado. It was a wonderful whirlwind visit east, and I think I’ll need to do that again soon…
I really don’t have too much more to say now, so I’ll stop.
I’m headed East today; getting into DC at about midnight, then down into the Shenandoah valley. Then, on Friday, up to Philly/Swat via DC. Just so y’all know.
Also, my arm is full of shots. Well, just Hepatitis A and Yellow Fever. Then there are Typhoid oral vaccines and antimalarials to take. That’ll be fun…
