On our own!
Hello, well we are officially done with our Peace house trip. There are five of us that are continuing on though. We stayed in Arusha for two extra days and now we are in Dar seSalaam. It was a long 10 hour bus ride toget here yesterday. We stayed in a roach motel! we had lots of bugs to keep us company and cement walls, so it felt like we were in a jail cell. We are all thankful we are only staying here one night! We are off to zanaibar this afternoon. It's hot, but soon enough we will be sitting on the beaches of tanzania. We had a bit of a rough start here, we got way over charged for a cab but that's ok. The night everyone else left, we went to Theo's house, she is the head mistriss for Peace HOuse. She had dinner for us, it was lovely. It was nice to be in a house eating real food. It was very good she was stressed about what we would eat but we ate lots and it was typically tanzanian food! That was so wonderful. we also had a surprise visitor before everyone departed for home, Mama Tesha came to say farwell. She is the head mistress at a school that many of us visited and also came to the conferenece. she brought little betiks for all of us, that was so nice! A great way to end our time together! I hope everyone had a good fourth of july. We had 'fireworks' in our tents, using flashlights! It was great, but about the best we could do! I hope the ferry is better than everyone says, they say it is very rough and crowded! but this whole trip is an adventure. Sorry have not been able to upload pictures, you will have to check when I get back home, then I can put some on here. Have a super day!
