Dar es Salaam just opened my eyes to a world that I've never experienced, and one I probably never truly will. Only through bits and pieces gathered from my observation, and through eyes of someone who doesn't quite understand what I saw today, will I ever get to experience a life unlike anything I've ever known. If for nothing but my own humility, I'm grateful for opportunities like today's, to be exposed to the normality of far too many people living in this world, and to be reminded that, although I'm just a simple girl, living a simple life in Washington, DC, I have far too much to be grateful for.

this last picture is awesome - in the true sense of the word. You are truly blessed to have these experiences.
I love how they carry their babies, walk slowly, and really talk to each other. I want to come!

i agree with darren and kate - that pic is really artistic and beautiful.
Oh, those kids! Their eyes get me, too. I bet they think you're so cool with your red hair. Can you bring one home?
