Day 4: How did this eventuate....

The choices. A bit more difficult than you might think, initially. The last thing that has been on my mind recently is my fellowship training program....Being the procrastinator that I am, I have delayed, put up road blocks and thought of every excuse none to man why I haven't completed. I knew I had to complete this first for sanity reasons...... If you don't know the American system they have taken pride in charging for things that use to be classified as decent hospitality. Originally I looked at California to find they wanted $1000/wk for the privilege of letting me watch them work.
I eventually settled on Louisiana for 3 reasons: The first and by far the most obvious is they wouldn't charge me for the experience. The second is that a friend had already been there previously and so already had contacts at the school(thanks Danielle!!) and the third was the Jazz and Blues.....
India was a little different. Somebody asked and I said "yes".
Uganda and South Africa have been countries that I have wanted to visit for years. After speaking with friends that had been there, it was an easy decision to make.
