My AIDS 2012 poster

This is my first "real" poster presentation at an academic conference, and the first output from my dissertation research.

Another week in rural Mufindi

Justin had a bunch of work to do south of us, so we stayed at a couple lodges 1 and 2 hours south and west of home. While Justin was off working, Juma and I had a wee vacation.

It was Juma's 5th time on a horse, and he trotted!

News article on Iringa

This is what Justin and I do! The reporter interviewed me for the article, but I guess I didn't give him any juicy quotes.

Only took 10 months of wading through bureaucracy!

Flights

We have been busy with meetings and errands in Dar es Salaam. Justin just spent 4 nights there, and arrived back in Iringa by plane this morning. Now I'm waiting in the airport departure lounge (see the picture--this is a tiny airport) to head to Dar for 5 or 6 days for more meetings.

After I get back, we might have a few days together before Justin heads out once again. Then l'll go again after he gets back.

This is a crazy month!
