It's been a while since this site has let me post, so here are some pictures...
1) Me teaching a guy how to play the blues on guitar. It was a hot day in Dar es Salaam, and he was very thankful for the lessons. Again I find it funny, as a white Canadian kid, to be teaching Africans how to play the blues.
2) The next two are pictures from inside a daladala on two seperate trips. Trying capture the experience in a picture is difficult, because you are so crammed that it is hard get enough room to take a picture- or you can't see anything through the lens because there are so many people. A daladala is a very inexpensive mode of transportation that is basically a vehicle slightly bigger than a minivan that gets between 30 and as many as then can fit (yesterday I had 42!) people squeezed into it. Let's just say... they get crowded.

3) A picture of the Mtono bus (from the inside, and then the outside) that goes from Mafinga to Jenny's village- about a 2.5 hour bus ride during dry season. The Mtono bus is worse then the other bus that goes (Malamsha) because it is smaller, more dangerous, and frequently breaks down. The two buses alternate each day, so one day you get the big bus, and the next you get this crappier one.
4) A nice picture taken by Jenny of the bus stand in Iringa at dusk.
5) A picture of Tanga at sunset.
6) Jenny and I in the Amani Nature Reserve (Northeastern part of TZ.)
7) This was my first experience playing peek-a-boo in a different language: "Wewe yupo wapi?" (lit: You are where?)

great photos, and stories. Keep them coming. The one of you and Jenny in the bush is now in the Lawrence Journal World as of today!
