It's a hot day today in Dar...welcome to the middle of winter! It's been going well here, just trying to meet students and beginning our swahili lessons. We had an amazing day two days ago as we went to downtown dar to a restaurant called Addis at Dar. It was an ethiopian restaurant and you sit around a basket table that is covered in this very thin bread. Everything that everyone orders is placed on the breadtable so you just rip of the bread and eat everything with your hands. Easy to share and it tastes great! It was a very fun evening. I am also trying to master the dala dalas here. They are the public transit system here and are basically just 10 person vans modified to hold 20 some people. It's a crazy experience as people hop on and off and the conductor hangs out the door trying to convince people to get on. For my project for Luther I might undertake the attempt at mapping the dala dala system which could be quite interesting. The daily happenings are finally settling in. I'm learning where everything is on campus and am just trying to find a place near by that doesn't serve rice and beans! We'll see if I can be successful. Tomorrow we are going to a local cloth market where bunches and bunches of second hand clothes are sold usually between .25-.50 cents. I might come home with more interesting suit coats. Watch out Bekah! Well, I'm off to send a few letters and play some guitar. Tonight we are going out to eat at an Indian Restaurant which should be tasty! Enjoy summer and let me know what's up in the states! Tutuonana.
