Saturday
So, after what would best be described as a GREAT time at the club on Friday, Saturday I woke up and thought Sheena and I were going to Bagamoyo for the day with her brother.
But it turns out that wasn’t happening any longer. Then, almost as if on cue, I get a text from David asking what my plans for the day are. Since my plans had suddenly freed up, I called it fate and agreed to get some food with that afternoon. We decided to go this burger place called Best Bite. But we ordered chicken pizza on a whim (not to just to be ironic…)

While chatting, I realized David is actually hilarious. Apparently, he HATES working for CARE. So he had me dying with laughter from his personal stories of working there. In his opinion, it is not the most effective agency. But in their defense, the type of work CARE specializes in does not really lend itself to quick results.

After food, we met his cousin David and went to this place called Mama’s Pub. Dennis, David’s cousin, is very nice. He goes to school in UK and is home for the summer. He spent a lot of time laughing about our mutual love of show, The Office. We actually stayed at Mama’s for a bit chatting. David mentioned that he was originally a McCain supporter, so that sparked a LONG and heated debate (but it ended amicably).

When we left Mama’s Pub, David dropped me off at home. He asked if I would like to join him for church the next day. Since this sounded worlds better than watching a televangelist sermon on TV at home with Sheena, I immediately agreed.

Note About Jamal:
Some may be wondering what happened to Jamal. After last Sunday, I did not see him. To make a long story short, I had to cut off all communication with that man. I will save the details for another post.

Sunday
Woke up a little late but I saw that I hadn’t missed any calls from David about church. He called later to say his phone had died and the electricity where he lives had gone out . Although I was disappointed since this is Week 2 with having been to a church service here, I still managed to get out of watching the televangelist program with Sheena, so I wasn’t upset.

Sunday was a pretty lazy day. I laid around the house, surfed the net, and did some reading. I am currently LOVING this Paulo Coehlo book, Veronika Decides to Die.

Later I went to dinner at this place called Rose Garden with David. I had Kuku Choma (Roasted Chicken). It was DELICIOUS. First, I already love barbecue. But this was great because not only did it have this great smoke flavor, the chicken was so FRESH!

Dinner was really good. Besides the food, David kept me entertained with more hilarious stories about life in Dar. Then I went home and got ready for work the next day....

So that was my weekend. It was pretty chill, but it had all the basic requirements.
