Today I learned that I am the only mother on the trip. How lucky I am to have such a supportive family and be able to make this trip to Dodoma. It was a lovely day which included some phone calls from home (I was also able to call mom) and spending the afternoon wandering around the Dodoma markets with colleagues bartering for material. Couldn’t break the vendor on a discount so had to relent and pay the full 10,000 tshs asking price for 2 lengths of Tanzania material…..somehow though Dan got a deal for 9000 Tshs…I felt so slighted!
We also taught Innocent & Liz how to play euchre – so now the entire team is fully trained up!
Oh Yeah! Mr Sandip (Indian card shark who just learned to play euchre a mere 3 weeks ago) finally got his butt kicked at euchre both Saturday & Sunday night….not that we are poor losers or anything but a few of us were feeling tired of Sandip winning every game! One thing is for sure, I will certainly miss Sandip’s laugh when the trip is over.
