Steve and Barnabas in Tanzania

After missing a chance to post my blog last week I have consolidated the two weeks mainly because it was a little boring.  So basically I painted during the day, walked in the later afternoon, ate sandwiches except on cooking nights, read books or devotionals, showered and went to bed.  The following are some deviations from that routine.
