Dinner at Oasis


"Amazing strength seen in the eyes of the women; joy and Celebration extended through the arms and hugs shared."

PS, the second runner up for the poem of the day was "Deet when you eat."

We said our farewells today and left with mixed emotions--heavy hearts at saying good bye but a light step for knowing our "work" was done and we are now tourists.

Instead of our normal dinner at LJS, we are dining out under the stars at a restaurant called "Oasis" where he have eaten in past years.  The food is as good as we have ever had and we are enjoying the change of scenery in celebration of two weeks of work well done.

One very funny story from today--our fundis (people who put things together), Bill and Lance, were returning from a trip into town when they saw three Tanzanian Mazimbu staff hanging out the window of the dental office waving their arms and yelling "Baba Fundi! Baba Fundi!"  Bill and Lance walked over and discovered that they were locked in the dental office.  The door handle turned, but the door did not open.  No worries, our fundis came to the rescue.  They had to remove the door from the office, but did free the captive staff!

Tomorrow we go on safari to Mikumi National Park.  Hopefully, the lions will be amenable to having their picture taken!
