I'm fine!

Some of you have very sweetly expressed concern about my last post, but I don't want you to worry at all! My mood has bounced back like flubber, and I'm doing very well here. It's not always sunshine and roses, but what kind of person would I be if I ignored the poverty and problems and only saw the monkeys?
I'm keeping this blog because I want to share what I'm learning and experiencing on this adventure with my friends and family (that's you!), and I think it's only honest if I include the downs along with the ups.
So thank you for worrying, but don't! I'm really doing fine, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be right now than right here in Tanzania (though I do miss my dog).

  1. Hi Robin: It's me, Amy's mum! I am thoroughly enjoying your blog about Tanzania. I was on a travel agent fam well over 30 years ago and I loved it. Your description of Mara with the thousands of flamingos was wonderful, as I remember it! We stayed in a lodge on the rim of Ngorongoro and I can still hear the sound of the rhinos thrashing around outside (there were many more of them then I think). I loved the trip into the crater by jeep and the lions that lay down right by the back wheels. Good luck to you with your ventures to help the locals sell their crafts. I look forward to more tales from Africa!

    Regards,
