Back In Arusha

Just a quick trip update - We're back in Arusha for a couple of days.  We're going to a concert this evening, seeing the New Life Band.  We'll be spending the next couple of days with them.
 
We spent the morning at the girls school finishing up our projects and saying our goodbyes.  We decided it was more important to document what was wrong with the PCs than try to fix them all - the next group of volunteers are coming for 6 days.  They should have plenty of time to be patient with the old PCs.  Some of the girls had taken on the school library - it had been far too long since the shelves were "read" - which means you put all the books back into numerical sequence.  We all helped get the last few shelves into a bit more order than when we arrived. 
 
The drive back to Arusha was a delightful combination of glorious scenery, then chaos as we drove thru town. Once unloaded and checked into the hotel we went in search of some lunch.  We actually managed to get a full thousand feet away from the hotel before the first street hawkers caught up with us.  "Hapana, Asante" is our new favorite phrase - "No, thank you."
 
Time is ticking down on the internet cafe timer - gotta go!
 
Til next time -
