Fresh Chicken
Today the girls that we have been working on the garden with came to our house to spend the afternoon with us. The ten of us and about twenty of the girls hung out on the steps in front of our house talking. We then moved out to the beach and the girls taught us some African games. One game was a song a dance about making new friends which was really fitting. The other game was kind of like musical chairs but instead of fighting for a chair we were birds fighting for nests. We returned the favor and taught the girls the hokey pokey and duck duck goose/grey duck. They really seemed to enjoy these games. When the games were done we took a walk done the beach to treat the girls to sodas. We had a great time with the girls and shared a lot of laughs. It will be sad to say goodbye to all of our new friends in just a few days.
To end the weekend we went out for dinner at a restaurant on the beach. Just like every other restaurant here in Tanzania, it took a few hours to get our food after ordering. In the U.S. if you wait that long for your food you might joke that they had to go out back to kill the chicken. Here that isn't a joke; you literally have to wait for them to kill the chicken and probably to go out and catch the fish too. It was well worth the wait though because the food was delicious!
