    I enjoyed meeting and talking with you all. I greatly appreciate all the questions I was asked, arising from what I say or don’t say in my book. I also wrote a few words about our meeting:

    I wish you all safe, refreshing travels, and plenty of learning. As we say in Swahili, “karibu sana Tanzania,” i.e. you are very welcome to Tanzania.
