Driving in Tanzania

Saturday, July 30, 2011
It is the last day with Anna and her mother, Mary.  We did some shopping around town and grabbed some lunch before they flew off to Mwanza.  As we waited for them to board the plane a truck drove through, scaring the goats off the runway.  There also seem to be a large amount of wild dogs that congregate at the airport. 
After they had left, Hope and I walked back into Bukoba.  Smart was doing some shopping and business downtown and I ran some errands while he was working.  It was fun to walk the city and people were very helpful.

On the way home, Smart needed to bring his car, as well as the van back to the COSAD house so I followed him from town to the COSAD house.  My very first experience driving internationally!  It was dark and the roads were quite rough but it was interesting going through town without any stoplights or signs.  Driving on the opposite side is not as big of a deal as I would have expected.
