With new plans, today was a crazy day. We, of course, surprised Paula and Denny with our change of plans. We had a half day at the clinic, where we took pictures and said our goodbyes. Of course, I cried while saying goodbye to Bibi. L We stopped by Paula’s store for last minute purchases. The other girls went into town to get bus tickets for the next day while I washed my African cloths with white vinegar (so they wouldn’t bleed in my bag) and hung them out to dry. After a month in Tanzania, I took the dala dala by myself into town and went to the ATM machine to get money for the trip (btw Barclays and Bank of America = no transaction feeJ). With our local cell phones, I meet up with the girls in town and ran some last minute errands. We went to the pizzeria for little snack and then went to the Maasai market in town. We stopped by the tailor on the way home and we said our goodbyes. I gave her a picture we took from the day before. I wonder if the picture is still hanging up in her store? On the way home, I saw the little girl who always sold me those amazing peanuts and took a picture with her, too. By now, we were crunched for time because we were going to Dr. Bon’s house for dinner. We quickly stopped by Lucy’s house to say our goodbyes and rushed to the car to go to Dr. Bon’s.
Dinner at Dr. Bon’s was amazing. We got to meet his family and see his lovely house. It was a great way to end our stay in Mwanza. We got back fairly late and I spent most of the night packing. I only slept for two hours because we had to leave at 5am for the bus station.
