to market, to market, to buy a fat chicken

We learned how to shop, cook, and eat Tanzanian style!

We begin with a trip to the local market...

everything is fresh

a mountain of coconuts

smells like curry

this is where we buy beans and rice

no idea what this is but it's pretty

all in the open air

stay tuned for coconut milk and slaughtering a chicken...

Hang on tight!

Here's a video of us riding a bajaji, one of Tanzania's most exciting modes of public transportation.

It's like learning how to brush our teeth...again.

We feel like children who need to re-learn all these simple tasks.

How do you say, "May I please have two bananas?"

How do we brush our teeth without using tap water?

the human laundry machine

be careful what you order at a restaraunt!

of course we ate it!!

and of course, going to the bathroom is interesting...  No, they aren't ALL like this.

We are enjoying this new adventure as a family.  Everyday we learn something new or experience something new...together.  What will we discover tomorrow?
