Yesterday we took our first trip to see Songea. Pretty nice place. Lots of shopping to do on the streets with a market atmosphere to the entire downtown area. This is where all of those
clothes that you donate to goodwill end up!
We came to town to meet with a peace corps volunteer, Ariel AKA Simba, who has been there teaching Physics for the past 3 years almost. It was great to meet him and have him show us the town…he knows it pretty well after almost three years. We went to a small restaurant and had lunch for under $3 and even bought some doughnuts at a bakery! He also showed us where he lives, which is very nice, and a small vegetable garden he has planted and kept up over the years. Very cool. It was great to meet him.
Also pictured are the bus that we rode all 15 hours to Songea from Dar in, our first picture at our new home in the guest house, and a street in Songea.
Today we continued trying to find teaching positions. It looks like there are openings in 6th grade math and high school physics J perfect. Charlie and I will most likely begin teaching this coming week.
It is all still quite an adventure here. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.
