Following in the steps of the first of us

Arusha is leafy and cooler than Dar es Salaam.  We're settled into La Jacaranda, a small hotel in a garden with a lovely outdoor restaurant and super friendly staff.  Arusha is close to where the first of us (humans) ever walked, it's where Julius Nyerere released the Arusha Declaration, outlining Tanzania's approach to socialism in 1967, and it's the launching place for the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro Crater.  Kilimanjaro peaked out at us yesterday as we neared the end of our 11 hour bus ride.  Tomorrow we'll sort out our safari with one of the several operators in town. Today's a rest and laundry day -- and a day to enjoy the luxury of high speed internet in an air conditioned internet cafe. It might be Indian food for dinner!
