Another step closer

Yesterday my mom and I traveled to NYC to get my travelers visa.   It was a very quick trip.  We arrived in NYC at 11:15 and took the 1:40 train back home.  The woman at the Tanzanian Embassy was really nice.

Yesterday I also picked up a cd from the local library to learn Swahili.  This cd consists of basic Swahili phrases.  When listing to this cd they first say the word and then you repeat it.  I hope hearing this cd will help me learn a little bit of the language so that I can communicate with the Tanzanian housemothers.

This is me, outside of the Tanzanian Embassy
