Hello from Africa !!
We made it to Dar es Salaam in a mere 31 hours of awake time.   Everything went well other than 2 very long, as in 9 hours plus, plane rides.  We have been transported to a different world.

Mt. Kilimanbaker

Midnight sun over Iceland

Gordon, Debbie, and Raychel reunited in
Dar es Salaam

    Our first day here we negotiated a taxi ride from the hotel the bus stand to take the bus to Morogoro.   Raychel,  Gordon and Debbies daughter,  met us in Dar and she took over getting the bus tickets.   The bus stand was a chaotic places with dozens of buses and people everywhere.     After a 3 hours ride we arrived in Morogoro.  They drive on the left , fast, passing other buses and car, motorcycles, bicycles and people.
We checked in to our hotel and went off to see the sights , sounds and experience that is Morogoro.

Many, many street vendors
