Just a few more days before we leave and most everything is done here - I'm sure I'll feel a little panicky in the next few days. - but I'm satisfied that it will all get done.

We are having our first lesson in flexibility having learned that the project we are going to work on and our housing situation is different than we thought it would be.  When we finally reached Flemmings Nkhandwe, the Principal of the Health Sciences college we learned that he no longer works there.  We are very happy for him as he has been with that college for a long time and it so capable, but we are sad that we won't get to work with him. It is a loss for the college too as he was a visionary and accomplished so much during his tenure.

When it happened we were reminded that things don't often turn out the way we thoughts they would when we were there before and likely won't this time either. Right now, rather than having a small house  of our own housing will be at a guest house (like a bed and breakfast or small inn here) so space will be just a bedroom, we won't be able to do our own cooking, and will share a bath. Regardless of that, we are very excited about the upcoming trip!
