Catch a glimpse...

I have finally updated my flickr page to include all the (adequate) photos I took this summer!  Unfortunately or fortunately, I'd much rather experience life than be continually trying to record it from behind a camera.  I think when we someday can embed a camera lens into our heads, or at least a pair of glasses, then I might take more pictures. Until then, I suppose you can be thankful that my 2.5 months of pictures really isn't as many as it could be.

I started in Tanzania with our Summer Institute students (see the official EWH photos from my students here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/duke_ewh). 

Following 2 months in Arusha and Moshi, Tanzania, I spent a week in Rwanda.  There are also more photos from that coming someday.  We were traveling with a professional filmmaker who was documenting our technician training program, so perhaps there will even be a movie for you to see someday.   I'll post a link here if that ever happens!
Finally, I returned to Europe and spent 6 days in Scandinavia.  First I pretended to be an architecture student in Copenhagen and marveled at the idiosyncrasies of traveling with a very different large group of young adults (compared to my very large group of young adults... also very bizarre at times).  To top it all off, I spent 2 wonderful days resting, listening, unloading, and just being with my grandparents in Oslo. 

Thank you to everyone who sent emails, notes, phone calls, in person conversations, smiles, and even those who helped me to 'be a bigger person' when the situation called for it.
