Part 2: Arrive in Arusha

[dragonbec]

We arrived at Kilimanjaro International airport tuesday evening, having left Austin monday morning! Our friends sent a driver to pick us up and bring us to the university. They wanted to come themselves but had a rehearsal for the concert coming up at the end of the week. We loaded up our bags and piled in.

Really enjoying these posts! The car shot makes me curious...did you have to do boosters for the kids or is that not required? Love the sausage tree...are those the seedpods or something?

Heh, regarding driving... there aren't really any rules. It's total mayhem. No one even wears seatbelts. Which is crazy since no one follows any rules it's ridiculously dangerous. I am going to hit the driving topic in a later post :)

I the sausages are a sort of woody fruit. Not eaten by humans but some animals eat them. The scientific name is a kigela tree but the common name is sausage tree :)

EEEE! This is so neat. I wish I had gotten such a cool opportunity (to see another country) when I was a kid. Looking forward to more pictures and posts.
