Hello from Iringa...all is well here. Class is going well and I am learning quickly...we do have class 6 days a week and it is rather demanding.
I went for my first hike and the view was absalutely beautiful. Today, I am going to my homestay brother's graduation adn taking photos for him. He applied to be an SPW national volunteer and, if he is accepted, we will probably be partner so I am excited about that.
I have been searching for some other things to do here in order to prevent repetative days ( I know many of you know what I mean) During this school part of things it is easy to settle into a reutine. Later obviously it will change up, but during the school part...ahhhh!
We leave this upcoming weekend for Njombe, a smaller town 3 or 4 hours south...that is really all I can tell you as we have little information coming from the SPW office.
I am taking lots of photos and all seems to be going well! Hope all is well with you...post about new things. I would love to hear about life at home!

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on the TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'
And then the fight started...

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a scale.

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive...
So, I took her to a gas station.

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'
And then the fight started...

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drinks as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
And then the fight started...

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband rep lies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light Beer for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95.
I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.
And then the fight started...
My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday
And then the fight started...

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary? "It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested, "How’s about the kitchen?"
And that's when the fight started...

My wife and I were watching “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
just a little american humor. if its not appropriate just delete. (i shall be proper in the future)
Hey buddy, Home for a few days from HKG and then FRA tomorrow. Glad to hear the class is going well. Hope they are using the Rosetta Stone methods rather than the ones they use in American schools. I think that is why hardly anyone in America can say more than hello, how are you, and I am fine in another language.
The countryside looks so interesting on the internet. I don't suppose you have any way to upload a couple of pictures?
Aunt Linda and I had a great visit with Cole when he came up to Lewes last weekend. Hope to hear from you soon!
We had our first snow/ice event of the season - glad I didn't have to commute during it.
Love,

Greetings from "ConnNewYork," a magical land that straddles two states, where I can avoid paying rent, but unfortunately not loans (damn you Sallie Mae!) My goal is to save $4000 then try to move back to the city again in April. Till then, yay metro north.
Good news: I am currently assistant directing a show in the city! It's called "Homeward Bound," it's about Iraq vets in a German Military Hospital. I met the director at NYTW and this is a pet project of hers. We start rehearsals February; tomorrow I have to call agents to arrange auditions (I'm learning as I go. So crazy! but in a good way.)
I'm sorry your group is channeling our ICC class. Whenever you feel frustrated, just sqeeze that imaginary knee next to you.
Ciao avventuriero!
You better be taking a lot of photos! Your excursion to the smaller town sounds awesome and I'm so happy for you being in Tanzania and all, it sounds so epic. I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner darling.
Love,
Amanda
"Look, Star. Let me tell you a little something, alright? When you need something from me, you don't have to hand me a bunch of lines. All you have to do is look at me in the eye and say, "Sanka, you are my best friend, we've been through a whole heap together, and I really, really need you."
"You're right, you are my best friend and we've been through a whole lot together..."
"HEAP! HEAP!"
"...a whole heap together and I really really need you."
**I felt these words captured it all. Thank you. I love you.**
