This one's brief. Greg and Kate went back to Dar today, and I'm staying behind for the two more days to relax, sketch, take pictures, coughbuyjewelrycough, and find my studio site. Way harder than it sounds.)
Now that I'm navigating on myown, I really have to test my skills. Kate warned me about the rookie mistake of picking out landmarks in the daytime, like shoe shops or book shops, because when the shopfronts close at night, you get a sea of blank walls. And this is a place where you get and give directions like, go left right right right right left, and then veer left at the trash pile, and then take a right at the scrambling pile of cats. But I think I've figured some things out. Leaving the concert tonight on my own, I hired a walking taxi, but he had no idea where my hotel was. I was game to try it as long as I had a big guy with a flashlight with me. In the dark, I walked us straight back to my hotel, no false moves, no wrong turns. I was so excited I high-fived my taxi.
