Kilamajaro

These past two days have been wonder-filled for me. The quietness during the day while at Mary's home is so nice. The weather is cool, the windows are opened. Very peaceful and serene. There's a fence around the yard and the gate must be locked at night. Hiring a night guard seems to be a normal thing. Not so much a guard in uniform, but someone to watch over the yard at night. We went into the market yesterday. It was like something from the discovery channel. Meat hanging from the walls in one area, men following us asking us to look at what they were selling. Lots of fresh vegetables to buy. I took several pictures and hopefully will take time to learn how to post them on this blog. It is 11:00 a.m. here, and 3:00 a.m. there. 8 hours difference. The roads are halarious, to say the least. The main road into town, which is very close to where Mary lives, is good, BUT any other road is like something out of a comedy. Calling the holes in the roads potholes just doesn't convey the deepness of them. Possibly small craters. Everywhere. Holding onto something while in a car is a necessity, but I love it because it is here and is part of this wonderful experience. Today we are going to visit Kilamajaro, driving up through some of the villages and then hiking into the rain forest. Can't WAIT! I will let you know what it is like. Thanks for reading this post.
