First full day

This is Thursday, my first full day here in Tanzania. It is very hot, but there is a nice breeze (if you can find it). 

We are all saddened here by the death of Sr. Demitri. She died last night.

As you can see from the picture below, S. Dorothea and I had a visit with Fr. Lukoa and Fr. Siprian. It is a blessing to spend time with old friends.

This afternoon I will rest and be ready for the bus ride to Masasi tomorrow. S. Dorothea will travel to buy my ticket for the bus. In the past we put our bags in large plastic garbage bags for the trip. However, plastic bags are banned in Tanzania, so we will see how the new plan works. It is so good for the environment to get rid of these bags!

We had a wonderful visit today!!
