Mountains! Finally!

Last weekend, I went with five other girls up to Lushoto, a small town in the beautiful Usambara mountains. We went hiking through the rainforest, picnicked by a waterfall, and learned all about the cool plants there (well, I did because I am a nerd). Here are some highlights.

Chillin' on the side of the road after we blew a tire on the way there.

Around Lushoto.

A lovely lunch by a waterfall.

We hiked up to a nice viewpoint (twice). Although it was too foggy to see anything either time, we did get to watch the mist rolling in below this mountain.

The hiking was unique. Basically we would walk from village to village along paths in the forest. Every now and then you would turn a corner and see a picturesque little community nestled in the mountains.

Chameleons! We saw quite a few of this guys.
