Last night I went out with a few of the other people here. We went to the Kinderoka Hotel. It has a restaurant on top of the building. We ate and drank and chatted, and had a nice time. I had one of them peal the label off their Kilimanjaro beer to give to my ex, Bill. I thought he might like it. Their slogan is: If you can't climb it, then drink it!"
Today we went into Arusha. We didn't get to go to the Rowanda tribunal, as it was closed. I was disappointed; I really wanted to see it. We went to a Massai market and shopped, then we went to a shop that sells tanzanite. The shop owner says that it is not true that all of the tanzannite mines are mined out. He says there are still stones coming out, but they are the darker, more expensive kind. Anyway, three of the girls purchased some. Not me! The highlight of our trip was our visit to the Shopright! It is a real grocery store. We had soda and potato chips!
I never get tired of looking at the scenery as we drive along. People here treat their goats like dogs; you see them walking with the goat on a leash. They will have a cow leashed out in their front yard to graze; and chickens pecking around it.
And it is just so weird to see how there is always people walking everywhere! They don't have cars, so they have to walk. It would be like walking along Rt 27 with people walking along both sides of the road; even it 10:00 at night in the pitch dark! It's definitely a different lifestyle.
