Milk and Honey

were missing, but I had all the rest for a nice New Year's Eve party. I had bought two mangos, some cookies, put on some Springsteen music and enjoyed the evening. Later I read the Thunderbolt Kid (Bill Bryson). I meant to stay up until midnight to see what happens (I had heard some firecracker-like noise earlier and was curious) but fell asleep around 23:00. I woke up at 00:40 to some chanting. I am staying at a catholic compound and there was a choir chanting. It was very nice. I also heard them this morning. Much better than the overly loud Pop music that is often heard around here.

Ok, There are still no first class seats available, so I will be sharing a compartment with 5 others for two days (the schedule has the train arrive in Dar after 40 hours, but I hear it's often late and may have breakdowns)...

We've still got a little more than an hour, Pacific Standard Time...

Yes, I remember that life on the west coast was a little slower... Hope you have a wonderful 2008!
