Just a Great Day

Great things happened today that made it a really good day here in TZ. An especially welcomed event since Dave left yesterday and it could have been long and sad.

A brief list:

• Went to "Swahili church" for the first time. Mbezi Chapel, just a short walk down the road. It was great. Felt God, felt love, even if I didn't understand the sermon. Hooray for understanding some of the songs though!
  
• Opened up a bag of Pepperidge Farm double chocolate milano cookies my grandma and poppy sent with Dave. Sooo tasty.
  
• Spent time with Marie, a friend and former housemate who I always feel blessed to be around.
  
• Enjoyed the breeze in the bajaj during the ride to Sea Cliffe.
  
• Ate celery for the first time in six months!! My favorite vegetable that I thought was non-existent here. Alas, I found it in the chicken salad I ordered at Africafe. DELICIOUS!
  
• Purchased and successfully downloaded Britney Spears' new album "Femme Fatale." Finally figured out the loophole on how to get music here since iTunes hates me: Amazon.com. Yay!
  
• Completely splurged and had not one but two mocha frosties w/ hazelnut.
  
• Heard from Dave via text saying he was in DC ready for the last two legs of his journey home.
  
• Now unwinding with a quiet night at home with power. A good day. No, great day.
