Time in Tanzania

In August I was able to visit my friend Sarah Black in Tanzania for ten days. She had just finished a two year term with the Peace Corps. Right before I arrived, she was in a restaurant that was robbed. This was traumatic for her, but she wasn’t hurt and they found her passport so that she could leave Tanzania when planned. We spent three days in Dar Es Salaam where I experienced my first ride on a taxi bus. Basically they are the size of 15 passenger vans, but with anywhere from 20 – 30 people crammed in. Then we spent four days on the island of Zanzibar. It was a very restful stay with lots of walks on the beach, some snorkeling, and time relaxing and enjoying God’s beautiful creation.
