Tanzania

I made it. There were some very interesting people along the way. Some good and some weird. I staying at way too nice of a hotel last night and have found a cheap place to stay for now. It is similar to European hostel with all backpackers staying there. I am staying at the Meru House Inn in Arusha. My first night was rough. The hotel I was staying at was right across the street from the bus station and a club. It was very noisy and hot. It was a very long night.
It is so poor here. I thought I knew what to expect but I was so wrong. I have met a Maasai boy walking down the street. He says he wants to practice his English to become a tour guide. He wants to take me to his village that is 55km from Arusha. I have called Ole Kuney and he says he will be in town in a couple days. The maasai boy's sandals are shocking. They are a piece of rubber cut out of a tire. He has the Good part of Goodyear on the bottom. I told him what Goodyear was and about the blimp and he started laughing. I don't have much more time on the computer so I have to go.
