Here is just a quick snapshot of the market in Morogoro. It is a really busy place.This morning (Saturday) we went to the Children's Home for about an hour and then we went to the town of Morogoro (it is about 10 km from the language school). In Morogoro we went to the market and bought some fabric and a some food.
Here I am looking at the bananas for sale in the market. I am sorry the picture is so dark - it was really sunny and the bananas were under a shelter.
To get back to the language school we took a local minibus. It is the form of transportation most locals use. It costs 300 Tanzania Shillings (about $0.30 US). It is a very interesting experience. The little vans are made to carry 11 people, but in the one we rode in this morning there were 27 people including the driver and 5 children. (At least 4 people had to stand the whole time). I really wanted to take a picture, but it was so crowded I literally couldn't move. It was at least 90 degrees F today and there was no air conditioning in the van. It was a very memorable experience!

It looks like you are keeping yourself busy with school/exploration! Thanks for posting the pictures (and waiting patiently for the uploading process!) - it is cool to see what it is like.
I miss you! I went downtown last night with classmates to dance at a club and it was an adventure!
