We left Mto
wa Mbu on Thursday and it was incredibly sad saying goodbye to all of the
amazing friends that I made there.
Wednesday night we had a party with a campfire, beef-kabobs, Safari beer
and pilau. As always, the bus ride back
to Arusha was interesting. In a minivan
sized dala-dala we somehow managed to squeeze 28 people, a month's worth of
luggage for 7 people, and a screaming baby that peed on my friends’ feet. All for 3
hours. Thanksgiving went well, everyone decided that going to a restaurant
would be more fun and productive than trying to cook at home over a fire so we
went to a Mediterranean restaurant and ordered tapas and then all left
starving. Writing our ISPs has been
painful and boring as long papers always are, but we are all excited to finish
early and then have a last week in Arusha to hang out before the program ends.
I can’t believe that I only have 10 days left until I come home! It’s
definitely bittersweet. But I still have
a little bit of time to put off my emotions of coming home. Next week I am planning
on visiting my Bangatan Mama and exploring all of the amazing markets here in
Arusha!
