I Love Shopping
After two months of not shopping today was FUN. We met some friends for lunch and they asked if we had ever been to “Shoppers”. We said, “No.” They said, “Surely you have.” We assured them we hadn’t. So they took us. It was fabulous! Not American fabulous. African fabulous. But still. Fabulous.
We mainly “window shopped”. Living in Dar definitely has its advantages. (But everytime we are stuck in traffic or are sweating profusely we realize there are disadvantages too.) So we picked up a few odds and ends that we need now and will return before heading back to Mbeya. Before we do our final shopping trip here we have to solidify a list and stick to it.
Asher did wonderfully today. He did have a couple small crying spells (and I did get stared at a lot) but for a big couple of days he’s handled it quite well. If he’s able to communicate anything about his likes/dislikes right now I’d say a) he doesn’t like to be hot and b) he doesn’t like Dar. But he’s handling it like a champ and is probably as grateful as our room with A/C as we are.
(Funny thing is that the people living in Dar think it’s COLD here now. Yeah right. 70s and night, 80s during the day. And still way too humid. They’ve gotten too acclimated to the terrible climate here… :))
