dusty dodoma

we flew from arusha (northern tanzania) to dodoma (centre) on this 13
seater plane. it's a cessna 208 caravan. :) the first photo is us
landed at the haydom airstrip right in the middle of nowhere, but on
quite a high plateau.

the little rings are maasai homes seen from the plane (approx
10,000ft). the maasai are a very large tribe/people group in kenya and
tanzania. traditionally nomadic herding people, also known for
drinking a lovely mixture of blood and milk.

clouds over central tanzania as we approach dodoma.

we're staying at neville and elspeth carr's place in dodoma.

and i saw a very pretty and beautiful flower in their garden. almost
as beautiful as my wife, who is positively glowing with our little boy
on board. last week i felt him kicking for the first time. :)

last photo is jane, esther mbogo and me. esther used to play with
fiona when we lived in kongwa.
