two days ago i spent the entire day hiking through the tanzanian jungle forest!!!! it was definitely one of hte most epic things i have ever done and i loved evvvvery minute of it- we started at hte base adn hiked up, passing multiple villages with thatched huts, pocketed away from the rest of the world in really green slopes. we walked right through a school wtih swarms of little kids in purple school uniforms. we got up to a clearing and then went down the muddiest hill i have ever seen and then walked upstream through knee deep water until we reache d the waterfall it was so sick!!
and now were in babati -its a small rural town three hours away from arusha. babati is b-e-auutiful there is so much green. we walk to orientaiton every morning on the only paved road of hte town and pass the infamous hippo lake--too far away to actually see any wandering kiboko but close enough to still be impressed. i heart african food nom nom. i can buy oranges and bananers for 10 cents across the street. were staying at cypris hill--a hostel just across from the lake and me and beatrice, a tanzanian teaching partner and my roomie scored because our room has an actual toilet. !
yesterday when kessy, our swahili teacher, asked us to sing the national anthem, i realized i have little pride for my country. tanzanians have lots of pride for thier country. thats why they are a peaceful people. i wish i had more
ok time to eat !! love emmanuelle
