3 miles from Tanzania...

Hi everyone, it's David and Creed! Today was our first day off of work. We had a nice relaxing free day. We went to a river about 30 minutes away. The water was a bit on the chilly side, but it still felt so yummy. It also felt really good to have a day off of work.
Two nights ago we went on our homestay. The trip started off with a ride through desert like Masai lands. We saw four giraffes on the way there. The drive was about 45 minutes long but we got to see a lot of great wildlife and scenery. YAY! Once we arrived at the boma they welcomed us with a cup of hot chai tea. We had the pleasure of going on this homestay with Scott Perkinson (oldapash-large one), Shani, David- our leader, and Nixon. We were introduced to most of the family inckuding all the kids. When we finished our tea, the kids started dancing and singing to us. We decided to get up and dance with all the little kids, which was mainly jumping up and down. The family served us a very good dinner. The dinner consisted of rice, potatoes, and cabbage. Oldapash finished his huge serving in around 45 seconds. Creed coming in a close second. After dinner the mother fixed our bed up with a mosquito net and a cow hide on top of the sticks. The two of us shared a bed and continued to a lackluster night of sleep. We woke to all the goats around 6:30 a.m. Surprisingly everyone was already awake except for David and Coach Perk. We recieved another hot cup of hot tea. We also had the opportunity to milk one of their goats, which was so awesome. After this we shared our gifts with the family and said our goodbyes. The homestay was an overall great experience.
See you all soon!
