Day 2 in Tanzania


"Karibu. Welcome to Tanzania!" We have reached our destination. It's the second day in Tanzania, and I am loving it. Tanzania is one of the friendliest countries on Earth. The people have opened their homes and their hearts to us. Plus, the food is absolutely fabulous!!! So far, we have begun to work on our stationary brick solar cooker (we are building two types: stationary and portable). As of today, we have laid the concrete base and purchased materials from the market in Arusha. However, building isn't the only thing we have been doing. We are managing to soak up lots of the Tanzanian culture. It is now second nature for me to turn around and say, "Asanti" when Afshan passes me water at the dinner table, and I don't even bat an eye when she replies, "Karibu." I love it here, and I'm dreading the day I have to go home.
Signed,
