It's hard to believe, but I'm prepping for another trip to Zanzibar. My excellent friend Steve Wehmeyer and I are teaching an expanded, year-long interdisciplinary course next year, combining my Aesthetic Expressions in the fall with his Sacred & the Secular in the spring. It will include a two-week travel component over winter break, allowing us to bring material from two courses into the experience. We've never tackled anything this ambitious at Champlain before, so Steve and I are heading back to Zanzibar next month to explore more options to make the trip even richer for the students. I guess this all means that when we're back there next winter it will be Steve's third trip and my fourth (and I will have spent five weeks of my life bumming around Zanzibar), which hardly seems possible. One of today's chores: send off the paperwork for another Tanzanian visa, which is never that onerous but I hate to have my passport out of my possession.
