Zanzibar Day, January 12th, was a school holiday for us. This was the perfect chance to go on one last outing with Paul. We hopped in a van with Julia, Jenna, and Ivy to ride to Uru. There we were introduced to our guides and hiked to a waterfall. The landscape was beautiful.
From there we went to the coffee plantation of our guide's mother. We learned how to process coffee. They prepared a national dish of mtori (similar to potato soup, but made from bananas).
We joined the Chaga tribe in their dances.
Afterwards, we ate lunch at Mt. Kilimanjaro View Lodge.
As we parted company we were serenaded by a traditional tribal goodbye song.
Haircuts aren't easy to get here so I've been thinking about growing out my hair and donating it. Originally I was going to wait until June, but then I decided to do it now so Paul could take it back and send it in. So...with a roommate that is quite a stylist, I left my hair in her hands. Now it's 9 inches lighter and a record length for me.
yay! it looks so good short! I bet it feels better for your african summer too eh?
ReplyDeleteI love it! AND...by the way, I got mine cut the exact same length 2 Saturdays ago. I, on the other hand, wasn't intending to cut that much off. However, what is done is done. :)
ReplyDeleteHi...love the hair, it looks great on you! Also love getting so see your wonderful photos. Take care...Deborah (Tankersley)
