Impressions of a Tanzanian Winter

Yes thats right its winter here. It is cold. I am in Africa and i am cold. I live so close to the Equator too. Its Fathers day and most of my friends are fathers or soon to be fathers. So for all those fathers day.

Happy Fathers Day. Baba if you are reading this, I love you and i miss you.

Ok back to sharing my adventures in Tanzania. Well my last post pretty much said it all in pictures. The reason why i am not updating my blog as much anymore is i am addicted to Facebook. Yes I know Facebook is meant for 18-24 year olds with lots of time on their hands, but i am in Africa, and the internet is one of those comforts from home i cling too in the cold African winter. The temperature is between 10-20 degrees which is not that cold, but the windchill makes it feel less than 5 degrees celsuis.

I want to thank my sister she is sending a care package through my Friend Alicia's mother who is coming to Tanzania in about a week. I am very excited. Gary and the gang at RMS if you want to send a care package, I will wait under the plane for it to be parachuted down.

Anyways, its late, i want to go to bed soon. just a quick post to satisfy your African Advenutre appetite.

The Choir in Tabora

The two Canadian girls and Baba Farid JahanPour. Yes, he shares the first name with my brother.

In Tanzania they call them Dala Dala (dollar dollar). The cost about 200-250 Shilling depending on the line (18-25 cents a ride) and they cram between 16-22 people in one of the small vans and 30-50 people on the bus above. You havent lived till you ride in one of them standing the whole way.
