No McDonald's

 Nyani or Baboons hanging out in the middle of the highway.

 I hiked to the top of Uluguru Mountain with Father Hugo and his friend from Columbia. It took about 4 hours and I think it is about 8,500ft at the top. There is a big radio tower that covers all of Morogoro county. It was a nice hike because we were hiking in the clouds. It really helps when the sun is being blocked. However it was still partly cloudy at the top and one could see only part of the city. Two men were up there who each work for a different radio stations. They take turns spending a week up there. Not many people do the hike and I don't understand why.

 We went on thursday to the Catherdal where the Bishop annointed the holy oil for all the sacraments. The place was packed. I guess about 88 priests showed up. You can see most of them on the altar. I was glad that there was fans blowing in the church. You can tell there is a lot of commaraderie here. All the deacons wore the same thing and so did the priests. The people love these events and show up in huge numbers and wonderful music. You can tell the religious love dressing up. It has to be so hot. I don't understand. It was fun to be apart of and they had a good feast afterwards.

Ngombe - cows walking on the side of the road. I was so glad when I was talking with some of the students here and talked about how America has become a fast food nation. They didn't understand. I said, "You know like McDonald's". They have never heard of McDonald's I couldn't believe it. There is no McDonald's in all of Tanzania. I was very glad to hear that. They didn't understand how people can eat and drive in there car at the same time. I said people in America do it all the time. Time is money in America. In Tanzania there really is no concept of time. It stands still. They tell me the soccer game starts at 4:30pm. Maybe but that never happens mayb 5:15 or 5:30pm. It will start once everyone shows up including the ref.  For the most part people are thin here. The heavier people of course are the ones who have money. Actually half the bishops look over weight. I'm guessing 75% of the people here are normal size. It is definitely because of there diet and they do a fair amount of walking. I was affraid of becoming a stick figure here so I ate a ton a couple weeks before I got here. I was 90 Kg when I got here I'm down to 82 Kg. I think my body weight has finally stablized though. That's all for now.
