We had our daily visit by Innocent and shared our weekend stories. We were eager to hear about the "workers day" celebrations and sounded like it was a great day of festivities. We wanted to give Innocent a commemorative MIS/SME team gift for the wonderful Tanzania bracelets he gave us so we decided that he in turn should be truly Canadian...the picture above is Innocent wearing an Earl Paddock Transportation 50th Anniversary cap...very appropriate that he should don a truckers cap! 10-4 good buddy!

Canadian eh?
Sunday we travelled back to Dodoma but managed to explore more of the hills in Morogoro and some of the local villages en route. It was fascinating to be able to stop in the villages to see what was being sold - we saw hand crafted baskets, a fresh market of beans, peas, tomatoes, yams and onions. We learned the peanuts are raw and not the kind we were used to! We also saw nyama choma (smoked meat on a stick - like kebabs) and various cuts of goat ready to be purchased. It was a pleasant drive back to the hotel listening to various Don Williams tunes taking us back to the good ol days!
Today was heads down all day at the office and we really cranked out alot of work - the time is passing by so quickly that we are starting to get more and more conscientious about each day passing by. The process mapping will be complete by tomorrow and we will shift focus to the final requirements documentation and MIS/SME deliverables and hopefully completing the last of the interview phase.

Woo-Hoo Denise! I've been catching up on all your incredible reading material - thanks for providing the entertainment!! Sorry I haven';t been writing in the last bit - was sick but now back on track...
ReplyDeleteHow much time is left? Every day is a jewel - take it all in. How's the project going? Are you dead on your feet? Are you getting enough sleep? What is sleep???
I'll bet your new-found friendships will be your best take-aways from this experience. Your photos, especially of the people you've interacted with, are the best. I feel like I am almost there with you. I can tell how appreciative you are for this time in your life.
Hope all is well (tummy ok?) and you travel safely.
Will write soon!
