Checking in from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Hello again!  Today we flew back to Dar es Salaam so that Thurs morn we can take another short flight to Selous Game Reserve.  We were scheduled to arrive at the game park early morn but a series of unfortunate events means we will get there a day late (grrrrr don't get me started in the frustration the lack of infrastructure and customer service causes here).  On the bright side we got to spend an extra nice night at Douglas' in Mtwara.  And we scored the Executive King room at this hotel in Dar for the price of a regular room.  The Indian Ocean view is beautiful...see pictures...kinda sad though as there is a dirty city garbage dump view on other side.

Nothing much new to report.  I bought some neat souvenirs from the ADEA gift shop.  We saw a Subway (only US type fast food place we've seen yet) so maybe we'll look to see how their menu is different than ours.  We'll probably find an Indian place for dinner.  

We have a new appreciation of things like hot water and showers and toilets and drinkable tap water and the unlimited food choices we have at home.

Kwahari for now!
