1st Full Day in Tanzania

Well, Its Friday night and Im pooped after my culture shock during my first day here in Africa. Here is a picture to explain what it is like in the city. Quite crazy, chaotic, and people here, there and everywhere. But I've been with Taxi drivers European Safari companies and all is good.

So today I visited with two companies of American origins, Thomson Safaris and Nature Discovery Safaris. I gained invaluable information from them and further contacts, Im super excited and appreciative of their help and knowledge! I will also do a Safari with them on Sunday!!! WOO HOO!!!

Otherwise besides my research on biodiesel and safaris here in Arusha, Ive been taking it easy 'hakuna matata' as they say, at the hotel. Its very nice, good food, internet and....just NICE!
