52: Friday in Arusha

Wake up, pack nothing.  Nice to ust stay the hell put sometimes. 

I go on a walking tour set up by Shannon's roommate.  I didn't really intend to, but they were headed into town, and I had errands to run.  Then I was on a walking tour and before I knew what was happening I was somewhere where I didn't know where I was.  That sentence is a metaphor for my general confusion.  No food, no coffee, not even any water, and Shannon's roommate doesn't like sarcastic people.  You can imagine how this went. 

But I got to see Arusha and it's markets.  Arusha is a pretty little town, lush and green in contrast to the savannahs and woodlands covering much of Tanzania.  Purple and cloud-shrowded Mt. Meru, one of the highest peaks in Africa, frames the northern landscape. 

That night the tropical rains came in, so heavy you could barely see.
