Everyday Dar
 |
| The view of city center with the Indian Ocean in the background (and the coming-soon-Bus Rapid Transit system in the foreground - progressive planning comes to Dar es Salaam!) |
 |
| The view from the office |
 |
| Foleni - traffic...10,000x less frustrating from 5 stories above it |
 |
| A rainy day commute |
 |
| Mattresses on the move - I swear there's a driver under there somewhere.. |
 |
| When daladala buses aren't enough... |
 |
| The starting point for my new train commute! |
 |
| Commuters awaiting their train |
 |
| The office end of the train commute |
 |
| Sunset for company on my walk home from the station |
 |
| Recycling :) |
 |
| PRE-Thanksgiving Christmas decorations. Can't escape it even halfway across the world! |
The Homefront
 |
| Rainwater harvesting from our rooftops! |
 |
| Backyard duck raising to supplement our chicken operation. The irony considering the vegetarianism is not lost on me! |
 |
| See above :) Though kudos to Juliette, Balozi and Zuhura for their entrepreneuring - they sold these chickens supermarket-style for a total of $30...more than enough to feed the household for a week! |
From the travels..
 |
| Tanzania-Zambia railway station - last Tanzanian stop before the border. |
 |
| Mbeya town! |
 |
| Mombasa homestay family reunion, seven years later! |
 |
| Nawal at 18...yet another reminder of how time flies |
On the work front
