Just got home from the store with almost $200-worth of pharmaceuticals/prescriptions in tow. I am both shocked (at how much money I spent) and exhausted. I felt a little bit crazy and paranoid walking around the store for over an hour, consulting and picking things off the shelves in case of headaches, diarrhea, lice, yeast infection, malaria, altitude sickness, sunburn, allergies, and what have you. Somewhere between the Diclofenac and the Antihistimines, I began to feel guilty.
I think the feeling comes from the fact that no matter how hard I might try to live the “African Experience,” I’m always going to be a conventional White North American in Africa, vaccinations and all. I’m not sure why what I am makes me feel guilty!

Hi, Kathleen. My sister (Avril Willett) told us about your walk so in lieu of sending a birthday present to Andrea we made a donation to your Walk for Water. Best wishes on your wonderful endeavor. Carol and David O'Kane (Naples, Florida)
