Day two in Tanzania...

On a borrowed internet connection, I am updating the blog. Yesterday we flew into Tanzania, at Mt. Kilimanjaro Airport, were picked and driven to Karutu, where we spent the night. Because of the no internet this is going to be brief, with no pics till I can log on and post for real...

Woke up today at 5:00am! Needed to meet the bushmen of Hadzabi tribe. Got to hunt with them using bows and arrows, were exposed to their culture. This tribe has been in this area for over 10,000+ years!

Spent time with the Datoga tribe next, they have been in the area for about 350 years. Visited a family of blacksmiths and saw them make jewelery and speartips.

Lastly, we visited with Daniel of the Iraqw tribe, they have been in the area for 200 years. Spent 2 hours with him, he taught us about their history and culture.

So today was a culture day, learned and experienced a tremendous amount. Tomorrow we head to Ngorogoro Crater, we will see lots of wildlife, at the end of day we will visit one more tribe the Masai to learn about their culture, and are scheduled to participate in a "goat feast." Should be another great experience.

Till I get a better connection....
