Just a quick update before we head out for our 4 hour drive to Lushoto where we plan to spend the next 5 days teacher training at SEKCO University!
Yesterday we left the town of Arusha around 9 after a filling breakfast and headed for one of our most favorite locations, "Shanga Shangaa" workshop where we were able to see the new and exciting things being created by locals that are either dead, mute, or blind. They make everything from blown glass to paper necklaces right in front of your very eyes!
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch along the River Side and then managed to do some major damage in the gift shop :) It was then time to head for Moshi where we would be staying in a Lutheran Hostel for the evening. Of course, a bathroom stop was needed and we met the most beautiful little boy names Baraka who entertained us with his 2 year old dance moves. He was especially fond of Amber's Iphone! We continued on to Moshi and made it just in time to see the wedding party arrive at the Church Hall next door. It was equipped with Royal Blue Satin bridesmaids dresses and a full brass band!
Hungry by now, we made uploaded and made our way to the outdoor BBQ restaurant where we enjoyed some Maji (water) and soda (no beers this time since we are at a Lutheran establishment), however we did get to take park in some beef Somosas (one of our favorites from last year)... basically wontons with a chopped beef filling! We sat around the table for a while sharing stories and then decided to call it a night around 9pm.
This morning we are up early for the remainder of our journey to the Usumbara Mountains where we will visit the Rainbow School for special needs children, the Irente Orphanage, and the Irente School for the Blind. We cannot wait to get started with our students at SEKCO and we hope that you tune in to hear about what Lushoto has to offer!
Take care! Until the next internet cafe is found.... Kwheri! (Goodbye)
