Pastor Hafermann and headed for the Catholic Guest House in Dar for the night. The rooms were nice but the best part was having a bed to sleep on instead of a plane seat. After breakfast this morning we left Dar for Morogoro and the Lutheran Junior Seminary where we will stay for the most part of our trip. As we headed out, we got to see more of Dar and how crowded it was. There were people all over the side of the road setting up small booths with items to sell and many more walking along. Driving in Tanzania is very different than America; they drive on the left side of the road and are very aggressive. Along the way we stopped for a small snack of pop (served in a glass bottle), rice cakes and samosas (a triangle shaped egg roll with only meat). The second half of the drive was beautiful. We got into some of the mountains and had amazing views!
The seminary shares some of these views and is in a perfect spot. A few of us are housed in blocks of buildings that are near the main buildings of the seminary, while the rest have their own house near the farm. They even have cows penned up in their front yard! The people here are so nice and seem glad to have us here. It is so amazing and peaceful here and I think we will thoroughly enjoy our time at the seminary.

Tonight we will get more acquainted with the surroundings and continue to get settled in. Tomorrow morning we will start Swahili classes, which could be interesting :) Maybe in a couple days I will get some Swahili up here--maybe...
