Day 28: dumb luck

5am bus means waking up at 4:30.  Miserable and pitch black.  But we make the bus, and head to the house of a volunteer in Mbeya, Tanzania.  Was able to eat and take a quick shower- and by shower I mean pouring water over my head from a bucket.  By an amazing stroke up dumb luck, this volunteer lived a 10 minute walk from the train station, where I was able to catch the train I'd bought tickets for back in Dar Es Salaam, and had given up on somewhere in southern Tanzania.  I made the train and settled in for the long ride with my cabin mates, a Japanese guy named Yoichiro, a Kenyan named Alex, and some Danish guy who didn't stay long. 

In the evening, just as the sun went down, we crossed into Zambia
