Today..there are so many things that happened that I don't know if I can put it all into words. We are learning some Swahili
Karibu=welcome (both to welcome some to a place or to say you're welcome)
Esante Sana=Thank you very much
Jambo=Hello
We saw many women today who carried baskets and buckets on their heads. It was right out of a picture, and it fascinated me. These loads looked really heavy, but the ladies were not even fazed. We met our guide, Ammy, wife and daughter today at their home. We laughed with the children of Ammy's village. We saw lots of wildlife today. We saw giraffes, zebra, hippos, lots and baboons and some monkeys that are only found in Arusha. I still cannot believe how close to the animals we can get. It felt just like when the people visit Jurassic Park for the first time. Everyone is so friendly. They all wave and yell JAMBO as you go by! We went on our canoe trip with a guide named Nelson, and at first, I didn't think we would see anything, but then out of no where we heard a Ga-Rumph. Two giant hippos appeared! They are huge animals that have the shortest little legs.
