Heaven!

I caved and wimped out. Yosy and I left the group tonight, for one night only, and checked in to a $350 hotel in Dar es Salaam before we begin our long push tomorrow towards Malawi. After a month on the road, I have all the electric, hot water, fast internet, and CNN I want, and gorgeous rooftop views of the Indian Ocean. I am so happy to have, even if just for 15 hours, all that which I have always taken for granted in the past.

There are no bugs, no mosquito netting and real wood, clean, dry floors. There's a bathtub and delicate soaps and shampoos. There's a scale and a full-length mirror!!! We are headed to a fancy dinner - African fusion - in a restaurant with clean, white tablecloths and dessert!!! I can't wait to have dessert - something chocolate. I've had no dessert since I got to this continent. Fruit, the last course in a mostly one-course country, doesn't count.

It's so good its a shame to go to sleep.
