(I have joined the world of the living. After about 48 hours of suffering from God-knows-what from the food, I’m on antibiotics and getting back on track. I’m fine, but feeling weak. Hopefully this will not affect my Kili climb… Here's a blog I wanted to post a few days ago, before I got sidetracked by health concerns.)

Dec. 8th
One could come all the way to Africa and never come close to touching, feeling, smelling, living the real Africa. My musungu tour has begun. So far, I’ve been pampered and escorted every step of the way. Everything is in place so that a foreigner can feel as comfortable as back home. In the hotel where I stayed, there was hot water and even a bath tub, while in Sinza, there wasn’t even constant running water. The two are only a few kilometres apart.
I realise now how important my time in Dar was (and will be when I go back after my trek). I only wish it could have been longer, because the time I spent only gave me a glimpse of life in Sinza. This is life for Tanzanians, but it’s only fun and games for me.
