I have had many wonderful things to eat here. The first day that I got here I had potatoe wedges and lemon chicken with a big class of mango juice. For breakfast I had potatoe wedges in an omlette. There a potatoe wedges in everything. I had a wonderful dinner at parlaiment with fried fish, chunks of beef and tomatoes, plantains, and grilled chicken. When we rode the bus to Dar es Salaam in the morning the vendors come and bring all sorts of different food. They had over-cooked corn cobs, a few kernals pop into popcorn, it is smoky and wonderful. They sell somosas in big buckets and all kinds of drinks. I also got to eat peeled oranges cut in half that you suck the juice out of and the best apple I have eaten in my life.
At school we eat rice and beans and ugali (corn meal) and beans. They girls brought me cooked corned today and everyone is trying to take me into town to feed me more exciting things. The boys bought me bananas from the market today. The fruit here is amazing, I have never had anything better. I could eat fruit all day. I am going to have fried fish later this evening and I will tell you how that is soon.

Em,
We miss you. Sounds like you are a natural over there. So glad they know how to feed you.
It's wonderful to read about the over cooked corn, about Mama Neema, learning to dance from a prostitute, and meeting with the first lady of Tanzania - you go Em!
