Safari!

Actually...a mini-safari.  Our training class had a break weekend, and went out to Mikumi National Park.  We pooled our shilingi and rented 2 buses to take us there and drive us around.  We stayed at the Genesis Hotel (nice, includes breakfast, but has no hot water) outside the park.

Giraffes, gazelles, warthogs, zebra, elephants, baboons, and hippos (very cute, the way they shake their ears after surfacing from under water).  Sadly, no lions.  I'm sure they were there, but they aren't active in the afternoons.

This week will be busy and stressful.  We have our Swahili mid-terms (oral and written) and start our teaching internships at local Tanzanian schools.
