Tanzania!

In mid-March Leah, Megan and I travelled to Tanzania for 5 days to visit Tanya. This involved a long overnight 20 hour bus ride via Nairobi in Kenya before we finally reached Tanzania.

This photo was taken on the road soon after we crossed the border into Tanzania.

Another road photo, but with some mountains visible in the distance - one of which is Mount Meru - on the left I think...a mountain close to Arusha, where Tanya lives

On our second day in Tanzania Tanya drove us around Arusha National Park...we saw a few wild animals, but the most impressive part of the park was the amazing scenery, and the massive Ngurdoto crater with herds of buffalo on the crater floor. This photo is at a viewpoint above the crater, Leah Megan and Tanya (Left to Right) taking photos of the crater....

The crater floor - huge!

A cool tree

ARMs project trip

I didn't actually take any photos while on this trip, so here are just a few that I've taken from the folder of everyone else's photos...

Some of the team, waiting at the dock for the boat to take us out to the site...

More of the team and staff from ARMs on the boat

Heading into the jungle to look for property markers...

...lost in the jungle looking for property markers....

Found one! (This plant is often used as a boundary marker in Uganda) Nice spider...

Misty sunrise over Lake Victoria (and no, I wasn't awake early enough to see this in person...)

Working late into the night by the light of headlamps

The team all together on the last day just before heading to the pool for closing time together
