Kenya and Tanzania

The horizons in Africa are amazing because its so flat with sporadic hills, it gets hazy and the sunsets are singularly fantastic...wow, Im in awe. The hills futher in the background become bluer and bluer until they almost blend rught into the sky.
So we arrived in Arusha on Tues afternoon, its a lovely place, but poor and very dusty. Apparently they are awaiting the short rains which come after the dry season which we are at the tail end of now.
Arusha is quite tropical really, lots of green all around which is different to the part of Tanzania we saw on the road down from Kenya. On that journey we saw lots of Massai people looking after their cattles or just walking seemingly aimlessly along the road. There we some very young kids farming the cattle and just sitting round the road, walking alone or in twos, all in their traditional dress. In NZ the Maori people don't often dress in their traditional clothes which is totally understandable, but the Massia wear it quite casually, walking with other ragularly dressed friends.

Dad gave his first lectures today, and had a few very hard questions. I think the class of pastors and leaders were just trying to suss him out, and he did well answering I guess. They are nice people though, very friendly and engaged in everything that is said. The class is in english so it must be hard for soem of them.

Africa is not as strange as I thought is might be, its just some other peoples home. Underdeveloped? Well, technologically and economically, yes, and surely health wise. But they still see the world in the same way we would see it in their situation.
Well, I can't seem to be able to upload photos at the moment, I have no idea whats going on with it but its just not working. I might email them to a friend to put up.
