Sorry we haven't written sooner, but the computer at the Hostel is down. We aren't really sure where to start... So, we've been here for three days at the Cefa hostel which is beautiful! The food has been great and the staff has been extremely friendly. Recently we went to the beach, played soccer and volleyball, saw a monkey, drove on the left side of the road, and sweat in the hot Tanzanian sun. Even though it's their "winter", the heat is stifling. The neighbors of the hostel wave and say "Jambo!" everyday, we enjoy their friendliness. We have noticed that the Tanzanian people are a warm and friendly bunch that love when we try to communicate in what little Kiswahili we know. We are preparing for our teaching job and will have more on that when the school week starts on monday! For today, we will enjoy a tour of Dar es Salaam and and a barbeque at Father Mike Snyder's house.
Bye bye for now!
-Sam and PJ
