Daily Life

I've been meaning to get around this post, but haven't really had my camera with me while walking around campus and going to classes. But now it's finally here! Some documentation of my daily life at the University of Dar es Salaam. Unfortunately we're only here for three more weeks before we head out for October break and then the 6-week portion on safari and in the field, plus we move in to our home stays in just two weeks! The time here is really just flying by, and I can't believe I've been in Africa for a month now!

This is a view from the ground up. My room is five stories up. My balcony looks out into the quad-like area of Hall III, which comprises of a few actual dorms. Nothing too spectacular. We use the balcony to hang our laundry.

At the end of our hallway, there's a small stoop connected to a spiral staircase that goes up the entire height of the building. It seems to be some sort of fire escape. We use this spot to hang out together and talk. The view is great, and we've seen some pretty spectacular sunsets from here.

This is the bridge leading to the academic area of campus. We've taken to calling it 'fairy land' due to the large trees with draping vines and cobbled steps up the hill, giving it an ethereal feel.

This is the classroom where we are currently taking Human Evolution and Ecology of the Maasai Ecosystem.

Walking back from class by the library.








Eventually I'll take some pictures of my room, balcony, view from balcony, etc. That's all for now, though!
