Time for a new chapter in this story

You may have been wondering: When on earth is Laura going to start writing something interesting again??? Or better, when is she going to write ANYTHING???

You will have to forgive me, fellow bloggers, I have been suffering from a serious case of writer's block. Switzerland, for one reason or another, as beautiful and pristine as it is, has been the culprit. There is something that makes it difficult to write about a place you come to know as home. It becomes harder and harder to note the differences, and observe how life is unique and special in that place that becomes commonplace and mundane. As a writer I often struggle with this. So I suppose it is as good a time as any for me to pack up my bags, wave Switzerland a fond "Ade," (for the moment) and try somewhere new.

I hope that in this new adventure I will have plenty to talk about, because needless to say, this new country I have decided to call home for the next 6 months is quite different from anywhere I have ever called "home," with a culture and a lifestyle that should be interesting to write about. I hope you will enjoy the new chapter of my blog as I explore Tanzania. Talk to you soon!!
