I’m in murders and executions

Tracey finally emailed me after 5 days of no contact. I was getting a bit worried, but she said that a combo of scattered electricity, working all day and not being able to go out after 6pm has cut down their access to the internet. Here’s a bit of what she said about her Africa experience so far:

…this country has been my favorite of any i have
visited so far. the people are the sweetest and most
welcoming people i have ever met--and everywhere we go
we are welcomed. i feel very safe. mohamed is the
leader but has had a terrible bout of malaria so he
has not been as involved as usual, but his right hand
man, hashim, has been taking care of all of our needs.
we have a night watchman like your parents did, in a
gated area, with bars and locks on everything. i
would be shocked if anyone could make it in our place!
the hostel is very nice--a lot like your parents
place in kenya. the five of us are the only ones in
it, so that is also nice.

Since it sounds like she won’t have a lot of opportunities to update us through email or blog, I thought I would pass that along. If you don’t know, Tracey is in Tanzania with some friends doing some volunteer work until Aug 19. I tried to upload some more Ireland pics but blogger crapped out before it loaded them. I’ll maybe try again tonight, but I’m going to see a local band called Cape May tonight.
