A stretch in the right direction.

There's been a lot going on lately in the life of Erin. Go ahead, take a peek:

We've been getting ready for the Black & White Africa art exhibit coming up at the end of the month. It's going to be a great event! If you are in Portland on the 27th or 28th, plan on stopping by.

My friend Andrea introduced me to "goatheads." Have you ever seen these prickly weeds? I'm fascinated.

I'm going back to Africa in January! This time I'll be using my professional skills to help our East African partners develop infrastructure for managing Western volunteers. The trip will be just over three weeks, and this time I'll be meeting with our partners in Kenya and Tanzania. I'm really looking forward to being back with my friends there, and I'm excited to be able to contribute to the good work that is happening.

Dan and I worked a valet shift last week to earn some extra funds for our trip. It is a crazy experience to jump into one of the servant-castes of America. I really enjoyed myself, and the tips were great!
