Lake Manyara National Park is on our way to our lodging for the next two nights, Rhotia Valley Lodge. We passed an Obama hairstyling salon today. Ammy said they are very common to see now. Lake Manyara National Park is so lush and green. It looked just like Hawaii for the twenty minutes before we officially entered the park.
Ammy told us that the Massai people carry on their culture by choice. Their children herd the animals and some look as young as three. But, they are such happy people.

I am very surprised how well we have all done being so disconnected. The funny thing is something huge could have happened in the news, and we would have no idea. Everyone we meet doesn't have internet access either so they don't know either. We are joking we are going to come back with English accents because everyone we converse with has one.
Rhotia Valley Lodge was built to finance a children's home. The couple who started it are from the Netherlands. They started an NGO there, but wanted a way to finance it in part from Tanzania. It is up at 5700 feet so it is chilly here! We are getting up really early tomorrow to go to the Ngorongoro Crater. It is supposed to have incredible wildlife, but lots of people. The crater walls are so steep that it is a self-sustaining eco-system.
