The Grimm Adventures...

The time has come to bid Canada farewell!! We are moving to a small town in central Tanzania so Nicole can complete her research toward her Phd. The adventure will last for at least one year. The thrill of it hasn't really hit us yet, but talking to friends and family and writing all others about it is starting to make it feel more real. Three months from now we will leave Edmonton, the boom town that housed many a Klondike gold rush prospectors in the late 1800's and is now feeling the boom again from the Oil Sands project. The hustle, the poor drivers, the frigid wind and snow and the vasteness of the city will all be left behind for the warmth, endless sky, starry nights and community of Haydom, Tanzania a place that is a throw back, by modern standards, to the days when the Gold Rush hit Edmonton. Though it is a place where frigid temperatures and city are the last thing on the minds of the locals. We will do our best to join the community in Haydom and become emersed in the small town life in sub-saharan Africa.

We have three months to get our, proverbial, ducks in a row so we can be free to explore our new home and surroundings knowing that we are ready for the adventures to come.
