Hot Springs!

My roommate had to wear earplugs last night as I talked constantly. I blame it on my malaria pills.

A group of us went to the hot springs for a swim. It was a two hour drive, and I seriously have no idea how they found this place. We drove for hours through a poor, poor village that was dry, dusty and barren. Then all of a sudden we see a green, lush area, we have arrived! The area we drove though consisted of houses that were unfinished, or falling apart. Fences were pieces of scrap plastic. The roads were dirt and very uneven. However, they had an absolutely amazing view of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The hot springs were beautiful. The water was so clear, and surrounded by trees. However, they should rename it, “lukewarm springs”.

For lunch we had chips mayai, which is basically French fries baked into an egg omelette. We eat it at the house a few times a week, and it is not a favourite. However, when it was given to us freshly made, and covered in chili sauce, it was actually quite good! While we were eating we saw monkeys in the tree above us. Emily got pooped on. That’s good luck, right?

On the way home we got some unbelievable picture with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. The poorest people, with the most rundown homes, had the most incredible view.
