Looking down over Bukoba town and our airstrip, from near my campus.

Ihungo Satellite and Arnold

Its a giant satellite dish near Ihungo. Don't have any idea why its there. Aaron thinks its Tanzanian/Alien communications. Also, read the writing on the building. That is definitely about the Arnold.

Ihungo Secondary.
It was a mission before it was a school, in the early 1900's. Here are some exterior shots of its beautiful church.

A shot of the place we got dinner in Stone Town, Zanzibar. On the right side of the table is a grill where he cooks whatever of those skewers of fish you chose.

Sunset on Zanzibar #2

Could this be the best picture I've ever taken? Yes, it could. On Kendwa beach, Zanzibar. I should sell this as a postcard.

Sunset on Zanzibar. I tried getting the moon and a star in the top of the pic. Did I succeed? Also, notice that the moon's crescent is not left or right, but on the bottom. (!)

Art in Z-bar.

Andrew, this is a close-up of the art work on Zanzibar for you. Feel the inspiration flow through the internet into your brush.

Aaron on the beach

My future neighbor and best friend Aaron and some of the local fellows selling paintings on the beach. Notice I took this picture candidly, as a professional would...

Mister Cool

One of the shacks along Kendwa selling local art. This one (read the sign) was the home of Mr. Cool. He came out all happy right as my picture took. Sweet.

More of Kendwa

The ship on the right served as a place for local ladies to give massages in the shade. Notice the composition of this picture. I am becoming a professional, by the way.

Ah sweet Zanzibar. It was gorgeous here. Think white sand and all...mmmmmm. Thank you Peace Corps!

Steph went to U of O


This is Steph and I at Kipepeo. I was holding the camera trying to see how long it would take before she got tired of waiting for me to take the picture. Unfortunately, all that happened was that she started laughing. Oh well...

Dale is worthless

Alex, Dale, and myself relaxing at Kipepeo beach, which was quite close to Dar. A nice day of relaxation. You can see that Alex and myself drink in style (Stella Artois) while Dale is worthless.

Zebra!

This animal lives up to its name.

Lion!

Steve was taking a picture of the laziest lioness ever seen. She just was lying (laying...? I hate English) there after binging on some wildebeest. You can tell that Steve is concentrating while photographing...

Elephant!

Elephants are not as big as they look on Animal Planet. I think they were using forced perspective like in Lord of the Rings...I felt betrayed, really.

Giraffe!

A giraffe at Mikumi. They run like kids that have grown too quickly to be coordinated. Its hilarious.
