Honoring Tom

A pretty cool set of events came together just right, and Amy, my Peace Corps recruiter and a Malawi RPCV, is in Eshowe, which we were already planning on passing by. So, we got to spend two nights hanging out with her. 

An even more amazing coincidence is that we would be spending September 3rd together. This year, September 3rd marks the fourth anniversary of the very tragic loss of Tom Maresco, a Gator PCV that was serving in Lesotho and passed away protecting a fellow PCV during a mugging gone very wrong. 

So, Amy, Cam, and I honored Tom the way any of us would have wanted, by celebrating his the life. We enjoyed a Black Label on the beach (his beer), saw zebras, then spent the evening back in Eshowe at Pablo Esco Bar, cheersing a life taken too soon.
