Megan and I headed out this morning to look for kitenges, which are pieces of patterned cloth. Specifically we were looking for Batik (like a monocolor tie-dye) but we found lots of other kitenges we likes. By the end of the day, I’d bought 4 kitenges to have clothes made. 2 are red-based because my mom like me in red and I couldn’t find any in Morogoro. I also bought a cool kanga to use as a wall-hanging; it is the same one I saw hanging at the RPCV’s house last night.
Eventually we met up with the others and had lunch at one of the favorite spots. Most of us had the “special”: Chipsi Kuku – potato wedges with fried chicken. Then Marilyn showed a few people the local sto (where PCVs leave tings when they COS) while Ezra and I picked up some things at the market for the bus ride tomorrow. Those who went to the sto came back with some great books (the sto acts like a library) so Ezra and I went down to check it out. There was a great selection and I borrowed the books “Trekking in
We met up with the PCVs again today to celebrate Trudy’s 50th birthday. Our Shadow group had masala for dinner and it was great but I’m glad I split it with Megan because it was a large serving.
