- 6/30/08 2 PM - Bussing across the plain Nairobi to Arusha. Thorn trees, Masaii herders & the occasional ostrich and gazelle. In half an hour we’ll hit the border.
- 6/30/08 6 PM - Ran the gauntlet of hucksters @ the border and we’re in Tanz. Sun setting over the plain, Mt Kili on horizon, slowed for camel herder crossing the road.
- 6/30/08 9 PM - Polite notice to our esteemed customers or guests: Due to some reasons best known by the management … We offer laundry services in our hotel and therefore… washing inside the rooms is not allowed.
- 2. To all non-resident guests must have particulars to identify you properly & avoid any inconveniences which may happen
Vicariously enjoying the grand adventure…!
23 hours later we’re following you across the plain and hoping you got your laundry done when the hotel said you could! Mt. Kil in the distance. My heart bleeds. Claire, did you bring Kit with you? Just curious…love, cookie
Bussing spelled with two s-es is okay, according to the dictionary. But it might be confused with the participle of the verb to buss–i.e., to kiss in an unrestrained or playful manner. Of course, if you want to do that all across Africa . . .
There has to be a book out of this trip-Africa through young eyes! illustrations galore. Happy Fourth of July-
Love, Joan and Emero
