Around the World
and Back 1989-1991

1989: Spring

Dan moves into his dad’s new house. He has his own bedroom, bathroom, and verandah. He loves playing opera while taking a bath, the room aglow with many flickering candles. He takes photographs for several local magazines and catches up with old friends. In February, he persuades his maternal grandparents to help him buy a Land Rover, reasoning that travel is its own kind of education. He names the 17-year old vehicle Deziree after an Italian girl he used to fancy. He enjoys taking friends on safaris around Kenya.
