Hey, It's me... Well Tuesday I went to Mbarie. It's the oldest part of Harare. It makes East Hastings look like the Empress. I've never seen such poverty. No one bothers you unless you bother them. I was the only white person there and was talked to A LOT. I went with Edwin from the house and he was offered money for me, asked if I was married and told that he was lucky I was with him. It was an experience.

Today Dr. Beata, a lovely lady and a great friend, I spent the day with her. She's a trustee and a grandma and helping me adjust. She's originally from Uganda but has lived here for many years. She's an eye specialist. She's the one I brought the glasses for.

We made pizza at home last night, it was a guess and test kind of experiment. We'll have to play around with the dough but it was a good time.
