    Wow! What an awesome cat! The colors are great, and the cat's eyes are very expressive.

4 days until departure

Welcome to our blog, where we will be sharing photos of our travels. Stay tuned for travel musings from the boys! We finally got an appointment with a travel nurse. She was very flustered by our complicated travel itinerary and put us on hold at one point to talk to her supervisor. We will all need the typhoid vaccine, antimalarials, and antibiotics just in case. At the moment, Kaiser doesn't have any openings for our vaccine, so hopefully they can squeeze us in before we depart on Friday. We are also hoping to meet Aunteater at the international departure terminal as she is in town for a whirlwind 3-day trip. I just learned today that in addition to the Rocca Fellowship from the UC Berkeley Center for African Studies, I also got a  Simpson ABD (All But Dissertation) Fellowship  from Global, International & Area Studies! We have been pretty frustrated because we have had to rebook three of our flights at the last minute when the airlines cancelled our flights with the onl...

Sticker shock

This post is for our food and price obsessed readers. Given the dismal exchange rate we got at the grocery store, 500 g of butter was $12 (imported from South Africa), while the 750 ml Italian olive oil bottle we bought was $11. The fresh produce is reasonably priced if it’s local, but the package of garlic cloves I bought (equivalent to 2 bulbs at most) cost $3. While in South Africa, we should have bought 8 lbs of pasta rather than the 10 bags of snacks, as well as butter, rice, and flour. I felt silly buying 3 huge loaves of bread the morning we left Capetown but am now so glad I did since we’ve already blown through 1 loaf. Kyusik was up all night preparing for a board meeting today. At home, I was getting up at 5:30 or 6 am for early morning calls with Zim but can now do them at a more humane time of 4 pm.  Viv has been a fabulous host to us, even exchanging $200 for us at a much better black market rate of 700 Zim dollars and giving it to us as an Ecocash card (compared to th...

All on my own

Kyusik and the boys left about two hours ago, so I am all alone in the cottage now. We managed to do one last lunch at Gavas, the Zimbabwean restaurant that we really enjoyed once already.  Their slogan is "sadza with soul." They have lots of outdoor seating, and it's very family friendly. The last time we were there, there was a bouncy house that the boys used. We ordered the whole grilled bream (fish) again because we liked it so much, as well as a roadrunner (chicken) stew, and half of a grilled chicken with chips. The dishes all come with a side of sadza (maize meal similar to polenta), the equivalent of collard greens, and sugar beans. They also bring a little container of house-made spicy sauce. You only need a tiny dollop because it's so hot! Once your dishes arrive, they come by with a metal pitcher of soapy water and a bowl so that they can pour water over your hands to clean them.  Afterwards, Kyusik wanted to drive downtown. There's not a whole lot to s...
