See you later Tanzania! I am spending my last day in Tanzania hanging with my TZ BFF, Dana. We have lived it up in town, chilled on the compound, and are headed out again after a splendid African afternoon nap. I am trying to pack my bag and feel like a bit of a stereotype of a female traveler as I sit on top of an overstuffed suitcase, trying helplesses (and hopelessly) to close the bulging zipper. Some rearranging will need to happen.
I leave tomorrow on the 5:15 pm flight out of Kilimanjaro headed for Ethiopia, followed by Rome and DC before arriving at RDU 28 hours later. Hamna shida.
I was told by a professor that after the initial culture shock, the next time I would feel sad would be when I left Tanzania. While I am very excited to go home, there is some truth to that statement and I will surely miss TZ. I have missed so much of the fall that I am unsure of what it will be like to get back to North Carolina-- perhaps another culture shock. I look forward to seeing all of you and I hope that my secret fans (read: school friends, family, friends' parents, etc.) will speak up and leave comments. I have loved all of your encouragement and support!
This will not be the last of local townie's TZ blogposts, but it will be the last from the ground in Africa. Kwaheri Tanzania, hello America!
