In a couple of hours I will embark on a twenty-nine hour journey through East Africa. By bus I will pass through the landscapes of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, the final destination being Dar Es Salaam where I'm meeting a friend, whom I'm very excited to see.
A month ago when I left Zanzibar we had to say goodbye. - The ever present back side of traveling. There will always be people and places that come to mean something special to you and leaving them behind is difficult.
As was the case with this friend.
I don't know him that well, but I trust him.
His name is Leimba and he is Maasai. He is rich in cows and his eyes light up when he talks about drinking their blood. He never went to school and he doesn't speak English. He calls me 'dada' (sister) and he makes me laugh.
He will take me to his village and show me how life is where he comes from.

So, are you still chasing the Maersk container on the road in your way to Tanzania? I knew you would not be able to live without it. See..?
The way of the mind is always the same.

(she sms'ed me 2days ago, saying that the bus got stuck behind a Maersk trailer truck..She shud have arrived by now though, with the container...)
