Throughout the next twelve weeks (and beyond), Becca and I hope to be updating the blog as we continue to accumulate and reflect on our experiences in Tanzania. Check in to the site periodically as we post text (and hopefully the occasional picture). Also, please leave any comments that you have. We would love to hear from you!

The Night Before...
It's 11:45pm here in Roosevelt Island in New York. There's a pile of luggage by the door, and we're almost ready for bed. Tomorrow, Becca and I are off to Tanzania. We'll be visiting Zanzibar, attending Swahili language school in Dar-es-Salam, teaching English in Moshi, and spending a few days on safari with Becca's parents.

Sam and Becca—
Thank you for your postings. I am delighted to be able to follow your thoughts, feelings and experiences as you encounter Africa.
I have it set up so your posts will come into my Mail program in the RSS folder.
It’s easy to read in history books how spices were once a foundation of world trade, but you guys have seen how that could have been.
My world travels so far have informed my life in rich and unexpected ways. I am sure it is that way with you too. An adventurous soul, open heart and open mind can allow in a lot of beauty and wisdom and perspective.
Please continue your posts when you can. I hope you won’t be afraid to be elemental and earthy in addition to being intellectual and authorial.
I also hope you will be able to adjust your cultural identities as necessary. For example, it may be necessary at times for Sam to act in a male protective role that might seem paternalistic or sexist in the US.
Above all, have fun and be safe in all you do.
If there’s anything you want me to mail you, let me know.
Love,
Uncle Scott
