Picture time!

So I finally have time to post more pictures - here we go!

First, the french version of SunGod, as I keep promising to show. Plus Deirdre and I in front of it - seriously, who goes to Paris and immediately searches for this? Good times.

Then, Tanzania. Some lodge pictures from our first 2 days - that place is amazing and I really want to go back - so lush, crazy birds, and a funny restaurant.

Then Tengeru. Picture in the van, same kind as a dala dala, but with way less people. Imagine the inside of this with at least twice the people.

Pictures from inside the car, showing the crazy roads, colors and people carrying things on their heads (I wish I were so cool.) Plus pictures of just pretty trees (most of them are banana trees)

Except that the picture feature here isn't working with the slow connection. Instead you can look at them here: First pictures
The internet is so slow, that I'm not sure exactly when they will be posted, but I'm really trying.

So I'm thinking a play-by-play of my day is not so exciting, so I'll stick to interesting happenings and cultural descriptions - seems more interesting.

The kids: They are very cute and everywhere. Kids just walking around alone or in groups, no parents. Yesterday there were some little boys teaching a younger one to ride his bike. When they see us muzungus, they wave or say hello, or just yell how are you? Everyone that you ask says, "I'm fine." Clearly that is all they are taught. It is really cute. They get so excited when you talk to them. They also tend to say good morning, regardless of time of day, as if they hear that from their teachers and don't associate it with time of day. Some will even just run up to you and hold your hand and walk with you for a while. So cute. They are just so happy amidst all of the poverty. They also are very responsible and grown up, with so many responsibilities at home, which is sad.
