Busy, busy weekend! Raelyn and I went running, which is a
big deal for me since it’s the first time I’ve been running since I hurt my
foot! People in Tanzania think running and exercise is funny, so locals laughed
at us, imitated us, and one guy tried running next to us!
We were also extremely domestic this weekend. We cooked a
traditional African meal called “pilau,” which is a meat, vegetable, and rice
dish. It took probably two hours to prepare the entire meal! We also hand
washed our own laundry for the first time. Raelyn and I took our friendship to
the next level. She likes to say, “nobody has ever been as intimate with my
intimates.”
On Saturday, we visited Baba’s friends nearby. They are
former missionaries from Canada (Raelyn was excited) and have been starting up
their own Bed and Breakfast, which is turning out to be more like a resort!
They were having their first guests that night, so we helped clean windows! They
were so welcoming, kind, and had great stories! Check them out at: http://www.dashirlodge.com/
Last night, our class met up at TCDC, watched Dodgeball, had
some beers, and had a mini discotech with our very own DJ Ray Ray. Today, our
Baba told us he wanted to treat us to a nice lunch, so he took us to a buffet restaurant
in Usa River! We even got Ice Cream. Brenda and Rachel, one of Baba’s
daughters, also came. T’was a greatttt weekend!
