Mr. Rasa and I before lunch with the HIV orphans
Mr. Rasa and I in the office of the physician who provides free health care to the locals every morning.

Ewe looks so good with Lamb Chops!
What a great day! Tanzania has an interesting history. One of the earliest African countries to get its independence, it was led into socialism by Julius Nyerere. Forced agricultural collectivization was a disaster and finally abandoned. Maybe the collectivization experience did suppress tribalism and can account for the strong sense of nationalism you noticed.
Another interesting fact is that goat meat and milk is actually far more popular throught the world than beef or cows milk. I guess goats are much more adaptable than cows to different climates/environments.
Back to Tanzania, the Swahili language has supplanted English to a large extent as the lingua franca in Tanzania. That might be why it is hard to find English speakers.
A fascinating trip so far!
