Tanzania 2010: Packing List
http://tanzan2010.blogspot.com/p/packing-list.html
In and Out of Africa with Health Volunteers Overseas. We found some good suggestions here. This list is a first pass, which means this is everything we can imagine needing. We may actually take more or (hopefully) less. Individual Clothing and Supplies. Light-colored clothing is better than dark. Avoid blue, tsetse flies are attracted to it, apparently. 1 pair nice but comfortable shoes (i.e. church/restaurant/dinner guest). 4 days worth of underwear and socks. Good pair of thick warm hiking socks. Gifts...

Tanzania 2010: Fun with Obama
http://tanzan2010.blogspot.com/2010/07/fun-with-obama.html
In and Out of Africa with Health Volunteers Overseas. Thursday, July 29, 2010. We have been spotting Obama in many places, besides the bubble gum. We thought we’d show a few. Early in the month, we spotted Obama boxer shorts for sale by the underwear vendors on the street near the taxi stand. I’ve also seen ladies in kangas (wrap skirts) with his picture and name on them. Thompson saw a teenager in the clinic in olive-fatigue pants with “Obama” printed across the back pockets. August 6, 2010 at 2:32 PM.

Tanzania 2010: Changing Gears
http://tanzan2010.blogspot.com/2010/07/changing-gears.html
In and Out of Africa with Health Volunteers Overseas. Thursday, July 29, 2010. We will probably be out of internet contact for a while, maybe even until we get to London or home next weekend. Today (Thursday) is our last day at Kilima Hewa Preschool and at KCMC. It is gift-giving day and a day for saying goodbye to our friends and colleagues. The next phase of the trip can be introduced with the old Monty Python phrase, “And Now, For Something Completely Different”…. Mt Meru seen from the Arusha Rd).

Tanzania 2010: Safari, Part Three: The Serengeti
http://tanzan2010.blogspot.com/2010/07/safari-part-three-serengeti.html
In and Out of Africa with Health Volunteers Overseas. Monday, July 26, 2010. Safari, Part Three: The Serengeti. So, remember your geology lesson? That vast plain of cement-colored ash, flat as a pancake? We had some car trouble going there. The Land Cruiser was taking a beating on the rutted roads, and it was very hot and dry. Our driver kept watching the engine temperature climb and stopped several times to add water. It was clear that the radiator was leaking. We set up camp in the dark, two tents righ...

Tanzania 2010: Safari, Part Two: Ngorongoro Crater
http://tanzan2010.blogspot.com/2010/07/safari-part-two-ngorongoro-crater.html
In and Out of Africa with Health Volunteers Overseas. Monday, July 26, 2010. Safari, Part Two: Ngorongoro Crater. In the crater are large herds of wildebeest and zebra together – in such abundance that it looked like the old paintings of buffalo in the early 19th century in America. We also saw many Thompson’s gazelles, yellow-crowned cranes and flamingoes, water buffalo, hippos, ostrich, warthogs, and in the forest area, large tribes of baboons. July 26, 2010 at 3:25 PM. For Future HVO Volunteers. Our B...

Tanzania 2010: Mount Meru

In and Out of Africa with Health Volunteers Overseas. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. 8220;Huts” sounds primitive but turned out to be very comfortable timber hostels. Our cook put out bowls of warm water for us to wash in. Think Northern Maine, that’s what the climate felt like there – damp and cold. After dinner the clouds cleared a little and we could see farther up the mountain towards the summit (photo taken with long exposure). Everyone else kept going, another 2.5 hours to the summit. It was a ha...By th...
