Traveling

w
Since my language class ended I've had the opportunity to take two trips with friends. I went to the beach in Dar es Salaam for one night with my friend Anne. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing while we were at Kipepeo (it means butterfly). Unfortunately it took about 6 hours to get back from the beach so we weren't as rested when we arrived back in Morogoro! To get home we walked, rode a bajaji, ferry, taxi and bus...it was a loooong trip. Then the first weekend in July Omega and I traveled to Arusha to visit friends. That was also a long trip. It took 9 hours by bus, but thankfully the roads were in fairly good condition for most of the trip. We had the 'luxury' of one 10 minute stop about half way through to use the toilet and/or get food. I was really nervous about missing the bus because the lines were so long, but we made it on time both ways. While in Arusha I was able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro briefly through the car window in the distance. One day I hope to make it a little closer and get some pictures.
