Updated 12.28.2010 (and again 12/26/11)
So I didn't make it through the complete list since what I thought would be two years in Kenya/Sudan ended up being a five month experience, but below is an updated version with pictures of each completion. Most fun I've had trying to accomplish resolutions.
I don't do New Year's resolutions, but I decided recently that I needed to make myself a must-do list of activities for my time in Africa. Feel free to offer suggestions or, even better, come visit and join in the fun!
