Made it to Morogoro!

After a long grueling day on the bus yesterday, I finally arrived in Morongoro where I am staying with Amini. He has a beautiful house and I just love his family. When I got to my room last night I discovered that there were about a million mosquitos....covered myself with deet....hope I don't get malaria. This morning I took an authentic African shower. They brought me two buckets of warm water...and a big cup, which I used to pour the water on me. The second bucket was cold by the time I got to it...but, it was still a great "shower". I just did all of this in the bathroom...the water gets all over the floor and mostly runs down the drain that is near the toilet. Today, Amini is going to take me and show me around town and tomorrow I will go on Safari.

Safari - wowza! Can't wait to see the pictures. Glad to hear from you and glad you got access to a computer. Its great reading about your adventures - life here seems a little. . . mundane lately.

Sounds like a great trip but I'm sure it's a LOT harder than most of us are used to with our 3+ star hotels and nice dining.
Roast that bat over an open pit, mmmm.
