The last day in Mbeya

Wow, breakfast was great. Bananas and pineapple that can't be explained!!! I will never be able to fully enjoy an American banana again. Our tummies are still doing fine, thank God. Another shopping day but this time we were not able to carry our own money, it is not safe. We also could not take the camera to town. It was interesting to see the booth that had shoes for sale. The shoe laces where tied together and they were just hanging from the ceiling. They were also displayed by being nailed through the soul into the wall..... hummm, I wonder if they leaked? I, Jordan, found that a woman was very interested in my hair when she started to feel it.... all the little kids just stare giving us the biggest smiles. There is an odd smell, not bad, but different. I believe it is the little fish that seem to be abundant. They are about the size of sardines and dried. The Bentons use these to make their dog food. I am not sure what everyone else uses them for, probably to eat. Again, it is very, very dirty. The ground is covered with wet cardboard that we had to walk on sometimes, yuk. This is the second largest city in Tanzania so, again, there are masses of people. It was a sight to see them scramble to get on the city buses. In the morning we leave Mbeya, going through Mbozi and Tunduma. In between Tunduma and Sumawanga we will take a road to the Rukwa Valley. You could try to follow us on google.
