JAMBO!

Tanzania, here we are...!
Its hot here. Big news? Well, no I guess not.
I am still trying to figure out this whole Blog thing...Do I use it as a public diary, or do I draft each entry to have some inherent message and moral? At this point, I have 10 minutes left on my computer so here it goes. You can make your own morals out of this one...good luck!!!

We are leaving Dar es Salaam tomorrw for Zanzibar: the land of beaches, tourist hotels and (apparently) a whole host of virile young "studs" who will try to bed us. And not just the ladies, oh ye worried mothers out there. I am terribly excited because we will be living in muslim homestays for two weeks. We get to experience first hand the true power dynamics of such a secretive and oppressive society. I have a feeling it wont be quite like what we see on CNN. A beautiful woman named Selma came to speak to us today body politics in such a culture, and I am under the impression that these cloaked and beveiled women have more power and mystique than we know. I cannot wait to live with them.

Well, 5 minutes left. My life is run by the ticker on my computer screen...hows that for oppressive. I realize my blog posts have been lacking, but its hard! really! Ill try to step it up a notch, as I have been drafting a real kicker of a blog. just you wait!

Love each other! Love yourselves!
