Well, we have a little internet again. Still using generator power but hopefully it will last long enough to post this. I will not waste time going back to correct mistakes so forgive the spelling and puncuation mistakes. Also, this is tony, not Rachel.
Wednesday we got to go to a tanzanian outdoor market. We had a list of things that we had to find out and we also had a translater. It was a great time. You definitely cannot survive without kiswahili here. we had heard that you can get by with english in Dar, wich might be true, but anywhere else you would be lost. The people in the market were very friendly although we heard many shouts of mzungu (white person) anouncing that we were coming. Many of the merchants enjoyed teaching us new words in Kiswahili. Parachichi is avacado. Mchichi is Spinach. Ndizi is Banana. Nanasi is Pineapple. Rachel bought a fungu (small pile) of Mangos for 500 shillings (40 cents). I bought a fungu of passion fruit wich nobody seamed to be able to say in Kiswahili.
Well, I will wrap it up for now. We will be telling lots of stories with pictures once we get back to the states and better internet. thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
