We just got back to Arusha and have one hour to repack for
the next week in the Usambara Mountains, wash our clothes, and get on the
internet, so this is just a quick recap of the last week. We had an amazing
week at Tarangire National Park and I don’t even know how to explain it. My
field study group had 3 days to study elephants and I have learned so much. One
day in particular while out on safari we saw a pride of lions, a sleeping
leopard, and a hunting cheetah all in the same day!
At “mosiquito river” we got to look at rice and banana
plantations and try locally made banana beer and wine. We also had the chance to talk to tribes that
are very well known for their carvings and paintings. We met a Maasai Traditional
healer and he healed us of any sicknesses and gave us herbs to try. We also
went to local discos and got to play with local kids at an orphanage. I have to
go, but I will write in a week!
