Home Sweet Home

Well, this is extremely delayed as I'm only living here for one more week, but I've lived here since I've been here. Almost 5 weeks now! I can't believe I've been here so long. And just when I'm getting used to the dorms, we move out to live in our homestays next Sunday. We had a dinner party at our director's house tonight to meet our host families. I have a host mom who is wonderful, and two sisters and a brother. I only got to meet my mom and one sister tonight. My sister is named Sofia, and is 20 years old. She speaks very little English, and is excited to help us practice, to learn more English, and to teach us how to make chapate and Tanzanian donuts. My roommate is Aimee, a fellow Grinnellian actually. We're very excited to get to know our host family better, and hopefully Tanzania and its culture better as well.

But for now, here are some pictures of my current residence, Hall III. Or as it's known in
Swahili: bwenit la tatu.

My bed, my desk, the balcony off of my room, and the view from my balcony.
