This weekend, in addition to watching more soccer than I ever have in as few days, we made a lengthy trip to Arusha's central market--a scene of chaotic bargaining, vegetables spilling into sewage gutters, and narrow mazes of lanes of vendors--and also went on an all-day hiking adventure over 20km in the hills/rainforest north of central Arusha, towards Mt. Meru. While we had heard that this waterfall hike was a four-hour expedition, it ended up being eight and a half hours, with some sliding down steep, muddy cliffs and culminating in a mile-long trek up a river. The spectacular views from small farms above Arusha, the glimpses of Mt. Meru up close, and the long-awaited waterfall were worth it, though.
Almost as notable as our hiking achievements is the fact that following the hike, we ate sushi with friends, and neither of us are sick!
Dear tori and Nick. Your photos were unbelievable. I read them on my iPad. Keep posting!! love, Mammy
ReplyDeletePlease promise me you'll frame the one of you in front of the waterfall and PC (on a clear day:) with the mountain behind him. I am drafting your new chapters:) and these pictures make it WICKED easy. Love to you both,
