First Week

We're quite enjoying our stay in Tanzania, although the heat can be a challenge for Tony. Also, internet is quite limited, so this will be a short post. Some new experiences this week include riding our first tuk-tuk, walking around in downtown Dar es Salaam, lots of Tanzanian food, learning an incredible amount about Tanzanian culture and the Church in East Africa; plus, Tony has gotten to drive! On the left, of course! This can be challenging to a newcomer since traffic rules are sometime vague and right of way may at times be determined by chance. The official Kiswahili word for a round about here is "keepy-lefty" - there's quite a lot of British influence. In fact, since we don't have British or Australian accents, it is sometimes difficult for Tanzanians to understand our English. Our health and well-being continue to be good and we're very grateful for all our American, European, and Tanzanian teachers who will help us adjust to Tanzania. So long for now!
