Alive in TZ

Well, I made it to Mwanza, TZ. I will be here now for about 2 months. I haven't figured out a mailing address yet, but my new cell # is +255787282555.

I had a pretty exciting trip across Lake Victoria (17 hrs) as a rat had tried to steal my sleeping bag case. After a few hrs of thinking I had gone crazy, i was able to recall a slight pattering of feet during the night and tracked down his nest. Either fear or generosity kept me from ending this rats life, but at the end of the day, I still won the battle against the rat. It seems I have secured myself housing for the next month. I will be living, hopefully, with a lay maryknoll missionary from Chicago.
