Back in the US... sort of.

My first trip to the US embassy was a little useless. We went to register, but it turns out you can only do that online nowadays. I was extremely pleased with the bathrooms, though; they have soap AND toilet paper! But four daladalas and a trek through the city outskirsts isn’t really worth a good bathroom experience. Our next visit was a little more fun.

This weekend was our first in Dar. Of all the places we could have ended up, it was the US embassy. There is a Marine base there, though I don’t know why (maybe because it was bombed in the ‘90s). Anyway, they live on the fun side of the embassy, not the business side. They’ve got a bar, pool table, basketball court, and good music. So, we ended up at a throw-down with Marines at the US embassy in Tanzania. Not how I expected to spend a Friday night, but fun nonetheless. And we weren’t the only wazungus (i.e. foreigners), which was a nice change!
