Hujambo Tanzania!: Adventures in Tanzania!! -June 20

Today we were back at out placements for the week. The kids were just as cute as ever! We walked to the supermarket the other day and bought them all suckers so we took them in today. They call them pee pees... haha I'm pretty sure. They loved it though so it was fun. Everybody has just been exhausted today so it's been pretty low key.

Yesterday mom, my 2 roomates, and me went to a Lutheran church meeting. It was all in swahili so we didn't really understand. The choir sang and danced a lot so that was really cool. After our whole group went on a hike to a coffee plantation. It had rained a lot so it was super muddy and our bus got stuck on the way. We decided just to walk the rest of the way to the starting point however little did we know it would take 2 hours of walking uphill in mud. Haha.. i wore my chacos so my feet were caked in mud. It was pretty challenging for everyone.. mom was a trooper though and finished it out. We finally got to our destination and met our guide Oscar. He showed us the process of coffee making and made us some. After we hiked awhile to the most amazing waterfall i've ever seen! It was absolutely breathtaking. The hike was really pretty too and not nearly as hard as before. We saw some cool things on the way like a giant slug, chamillion, spiders.. all sorts of creatures!

There were kids walking most of the way with us that were obsessed with Obama... everyone is obsessed with Obama, Shakira, Rhianna, and Bob Marley. It's pretty funny actually. My kids like to sing shakira's waka waka song. Anyways the walk back was not too enjoyable but we made it to the bus.. which got stuck again haha.. but we survived and i got only a few blisters! I'm not sure what our plans are the rest of the day.. we just had kiswahili lessons and the cadets are doing pt (physical training) haha.. anyways things are just peachy in Africa! Love you all!!!
