A Thousand Words (Part 11: Teaching and Partying)

I didn't have a lot of classes to teach my first semester at Korogwe Girls Secondary School, so I spent a lot of time traveling around Tanzania, visiting other Volunteers.

Sharon's birthday. Yes, this is what I meant by "partying"

traveling by bus was always an adventure

New Year's 2003 we went to the beach in Tanga

Dodoma, the political capital of the country

a pretty typical Peace Corps party. Honestly, we needed these parties to share stories and normalize our experience.

Awesome pancakes!
