I am going to grow super fat when I get back to the states. One thing Africa has not taught me is self-control with respect to food. Africa forces self-control by depriving, by offering limited food choices: flour, rice, meat, okra, eggplant, onions, cabbage, pasta and beans.
I could try binging on bread or pancakes, but I get awfully tired of eating them.
Amongst cheese, cookies, candy, ice cream, chips, fast food, restaurants, and piles of fruit and vegetables, I am afraid I'm going to binge.

I just loved this comment:
No matter how you choose your adventure in Africa, everything eventually works out.
Thanks for the smile! I worked in Gumare Botswana in the mid 1980s, a small village with no electricity. It was a Canadian programme, a bit like Peace Corps, lousy wages, but interesting teaching, for sure!
cheers from Ruth
