Tom and I were very intentional about bringing only as many clothes as we really needed as we always tend to over pack when traveling. However, the unexpected happens and you need to be creative. Our first week in Dar Es Salaam, I was wearing my everyday black skirt while walking downtown. Suddenly, I felt a pull and heard a tear. I looked to see my skirt caught on a low fence. Now, I’m down to two skirts! Tom brought one pair of dress pants for Sundays and our second Sunday in Iringa, he caught the back on a chair and ended up with a small but noticeable hole on his backside. Thankfully we brought some first aid tape and both garments are fully functional for now with the help of our own 3M!
