It's Christmas, still 3 weeks from departure for Uganda. The seasonal sales at Big 5 and the 99 cent store have filled my several bags to the brim.with pencils, coloring books, volleyball nets and other trinkets of travel. They will take on new value when they are whisked through time and space with me, and I return to the tranquility and chaos of Africa.
Luckily, my daughter, Solana, is here to help me navigate the novelty of blogs, flash drives and a new laptop. May the education I receive be adequate to keep Serve Tough - Africa a fairly coherent and informative vehicle of communication. Perhaps inspiration.
