The life in a day of Kerrin

I'm well into week two of being in Tanzania, and I'm still having a ball :)

I've nabbed a school computer, which has better internet, AND a keyboard that actually works. Win, win! I'll have you know that I've done my bit for charity, and supported the school jumble sale by getting my face painted. So right now I have taken on the image of a (slightly not too pale, but not exactly burnt) rabbit, but I think my mind is still intact, so my thinking remains human...
well that's what we all hope anyway :P

Chilling on the boat, and at the Yacht club

This week I gained my SCUBA diving certification, so I'm now qualified to dive with any qualified (Padi) diving centre in the world... pretty cool! Of course (it goes without saying that) I'm a complete novice, but onwards and upwards, the journey of a 1000 miles starts with the first step. Not that I intend to do millions of dives, but I still think its a nice 'arrow to have in the quiver,' so to speak. The actual diving experience was fantastic. One doesn't realize that there is a whole new world under the sea, and storybooks don't do the underwater world any justice either. I can't always take in the full scope of our world, but whoever thinks its all been discovered is wrong!

Other than that I've continued to chillax (its a hard life for some!) and explore the new environment; this has included walks on the beach, more swimming/kayaking, reading, watching movies, playing with Joah and the dog (in that order :P), joining in with Anja's youth group - and then school fete this morning, and driving around Dar with Mona Liza. Yesterday we went to Tegeta market, which was an experience in itself. To sum it all up, I now know where all our charity clothes from the UK/USA end up! We found the most amazing designers items for ridiculous prices... we bought Ralph Lauren, peter rabbit brand name, gap baby, and lots of other items all for under GBP3! Anja and I will be taking this bundle with us when we go to Mufundi orphanage for two weeks during Easter.
