almost home

Visited Mwika  pretty cool school. it reminded  me alot of CLBI except for the fact that they have classes that run semester instead of weekly oh and its designed to make pastors not just strong Christians.But the atmosphere seemed the same... to me. After Mwika we went to Banana Jungle lodge. we went there just for fun and to get a look at a holiday spot lol if we ever come back here for say a honey moon... atleast thats their idea. that night we had a sort of team bonding in that they let us lose to experience the town on our own. did some amazing bargaining and then had supper at a restaurant we found which was grrreat. next day we visited a market on our way to Karatu. where we are now staying we visited the school and hospital in the area was very interesting to see. Saturday we hit up Ngorogoro on safari. it was great we saw Lions 5 of them 4 Elephants. a ton of zebras, 1 cheetah which rare so that was lucky , we also saw monkeys of a few types and all other sorts of animals, unfortunately no Giraffe but oh well. after the safari it all felt kind of unreal like did we actually just see these animals. it was freaking crazy awesome. sunday we had church and a bit more shopping then back to moshi and now we come to monday and we are getting on the plane in less than 7.5 hours and we are the  plane. during our journey to Karatu we went shopping Josiah and I have mastered the art of bardering ... the others still need some work. However Danielle did get offered a doury to become some ones wife 200 cows when the normal doury is a cow a goat and a blanket
anyway this is Ryley signing off see you all soon

  1. Haahaahaaa Danielle! Way to go!! 200 cows is big time... did you take some time to consider it? Hah! Glad you all had some authentic African adventures out on safari and are learning the finer arts of bartering. That will always come in handy wherever you travel!

    Have a great trip back. We are all looking forward to hearing more.

    Love you! (Dan's) Mom xo
