Christmas Shopping

With the RIP/TOA complete, we set out on our first solo mission with an overnight in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.  We asked our driver to stop at a local market...and since we tend to stand out in a crowd...we received alot of attention from sellers.  Here my fellow pilot was able to go to the rear of a shop and see how the crafts were made---this guy is sharpening tools with a grinding wheel;

Since it takes 2-3 weeks for packages to ship back home, I used this time to get my Christmas shopping done for my girls...since the gifts will probably be late, here is a preview.  I have become an expert in negotiating for African jewelry...this time I made sure to capture the moment...Merry Christmas Ladies!
