Seriously!

Alrighty, here are some pictures of the mural's progress thus far...we really are getting there! And it's been a solid distraction from the sadness of Jane's departure. Of course, on Monday quite a few boys asked me where she was and asked me to say hi...Hi Dada Jane!! This afternoon there's another mini muzungu work party planned to put the finishing touches on the mural! Woot Woot!

On Monday we painted over all of the chalk outlines (that miraculously survived the weekend) in yellow paint...

and then at the end of today, this is what the mural looked like. Not to shabby, aye?

It's crazy to think that I only have 3 more days at Juvi...time seems to have flown by. And E's court date is this Friday; he's been accepted to a very good boarding school here in Moshi, so please think good thoughts Friday morning (really Thursday night in North America)! And Tim and I are working on our travel plans for when we leave Moshi (which is this Saturday).We're not sure where we'll be heading, and if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears...it's coming up soon!
