Monday, January 25th - Dar Es Salaam

Monday was a very long day on the bus back to Dar Es Salaam, but most of the way there we saw beautiful countryside of lush hills and trees.  It was good to be on a paved road again, but Tanzania slows their drivers down by having many, many speed bumps!  The closer we got to Dar, the drier the land and countryside became. 

We came into Dar at rush hour, so we were able to see lots of the town.  We were surprised there were many nurseries selling trees, plants and more.  Lots of bus traffic for those heading home from work.  It is very hot and humid here, so we changed our day to go out to Bongoyo Island and have more of a leisure day prior to our departure home tomorrow. 

We have all had a life-changing experience with our sisters and brothers in Christ at Mgama and will always have them in our hearts and in our prayers.  We are looking forward to home and reuniting with our family and friends.

On the way to having lunch, we got to see our final look at elephants, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, impalas and some moose-looking animal we had not previously seen.

We are sad to say good bye to these beautiful animals!
