lost to the wind

"How did we get to Africa?" he said. "Already I don't want to leave. Did you feel that air? It's different. It's African air. It's like mixed with the sun more. Like our air isn't mixed as well with the sun. Here they mix it perfectly. The sun's in the wind, the sun's in your breaths."

Recently, I haven't been able to stop thinking about Tanzania. I spent five weeks there last summer volunteering at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro and few experiences measure up to the memories I made there... The people, oh the people! I've never seen such beautiful smiles... Here are a few pictures I took while over there. I probably wont be able to resist putting more up, so I apologize in advance for the Africa overload :) Most of this first batch is from around Rau, the local village right outside Moshi.
