60: coffee plantation

We take a local minibus, a "dalla-dalla" to a little village east of Arusha, then cab it up a few kilometers to an even smaller village, where we meet the tourguide.  He shows us the local school and church, then takes us into the coffee plantation.  Much better than elephants or any of that crap.

The tour took us through the farm where the coffee is actually grown, then into the factory -a small room with a roaster- where they roast and package the beans.  Obviously I bought some souvenirs.  I wanted the lady to grind one bag of coffee, so I'd have something to drink.  She couldn't though, because this is Tanzania and the power was out
