goodbye tanzania!

the first person i met when i arrived was the last person i saw when i left.  this is Mageni our company driver.  he was a good driver and never got me into an accident or killed.  i am very grateful for that.  

we spent a lot of time together while i was in country and we had a few crazy experiences together.  like the time we were in Arusha and we were looking for a the only place where you could buy plastic containers for retail.  i needed to see what they had for the vanilla sugar i wanted to bring to market.  there wasn't a sign advertising the business and when we called for directions the clerk shouted and abused Mageni to the point i was cringing.  i didn't even understand what she was saying but whatever it was she wasn't saying it nicely.  i told Mageni afterwards we would never need to go there again.  with his help i learned a few more swahili words and then immediately forgot them.

my smile says it all.  i am ready to go.  Mageni was always smiling and i love that this is my last photo from Tanzania.
