Here are some pictures from today. We visited a local market with homework - to buy as many vegetables and fruits with 1000 Tanzanian shillings, using only Swahili and our bargaining skills. We all did pretty well. It was definitely a cultural experience. The market was so colorful - women, men, and children dressed in vibrant clothing, selling and buying their wares. It was an amazing trip and I came back with so much more than just fruits and vegetables. I came back with more knowledge of the Tanzanian culture and Swahili language.
Your pictures are wonderful and we are so happy that you are enjoying yourself. Keep the blog going...Mom and Dad
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing how the natives can balance just about anything on their head. I remember seeing a man walking down the street with a tree on his head like it was nothing. Are the mangos in season there? Be sure to get them...they were so good when I was there. I also remember eating bananas of all colors, even red ones. What is that first picture of? A bug of some sort?
