An exciting and crazy weekend in Tanzania! Friday night we ventured out to find a restaurant and after about an hour of walking in the dark (because there are few if any street lights anywhere) we came upon a pizza place in DAR which is unheard of! We settled for the pizza which tasted great. We ate 4 between the 5 of us. While there we met a crazy American who works at the embassy as a computer technician and who has lived all over the world and a pastor from Britain who's wife is a development worker. They just had twins so I think we scored a babysitting job which would mean hot shower and couch! It was really fun though talking to them. The crazy American told us about this bar called the Q bar which was the place to be. We went to check it out only to discover a room full of white 40 year old men and Tanzanian women who looked frighteningly like prostitutes. It was a weird experience. After listening to a little bit of music we headed out only to find the public buses (dala dalas) no longer running. About 4 cabs surrouned us asking if we needed a ride and we bartered a bit with them and finally got a 2,500 Tsh. ride back. (about $2.50). The following day we went to Bagamoyo which is a quiet town on the Indian Ocean about an hour north of us. It was great! We hung out on the beach and checked out a museum there dedicated to the slave trade because the town was a hub for the slave trade in the 1800's. It was very fascinating. The other amazing thing was the water. It was so warm! We lounged in the Indian Ocean before heading back for a night at D'rusos, which is the local bar/hang out, kind of like Marty's at luther. There we met some cool tanzanians who we taught the card game bullshit. It was very funny watching them try to lie and try to swear in English. I guess Americans are the only naturally talented liars. Today is a quiet day. Went for a run and enjoy a nice meal of rice and chipsi. I'm off to a church service this afternoon that the British guy is in charge of. I'm sure it will be another experience...
