One week down and it has been a whirlwind. Classes on swahili, health, and culture as well as getting familiar with our surroundings. The temperature and humidity has been a big challenge. Both readings have been in the 90s. Dar es Salaam was especially challenging because of its closeness to the Indian Ocean. That is the first time I have ever seen that ocean. It was from afar, but I think that still counts. Things are cooler here in Morogoro, the night was especially pleasant down in the 70s. We meet our host families on Monday, this will be a big step in adapting to our new home since it is total emersion. I'll get better with the postings when I have more down time.
PS, Nancy, Shikamoo is said frequently in Tanzania, but I have been instructed not to say it. I hope that doesn't mean I'm the oldest person here. For those who don't know, it is a formal greeting of respect usually reserved for an older person.
