Random Photos By Terry

Terry took many great pictures. It was cool to look through them and see what caught his interest. The longer I live here, the more I forget how different things are from the US. Here are some random photos of life in Moshi.

Mt. Kilimanjaro.



Water is often rationed and turned on and off during the day. In Korogwe, we only had water an hour in the morning and evening. In Moshi, it's often available at night, but not during the day. For those who are lucky, they have water storage tanks that fill up when the water is on, allowing the house to have water all the time. We didn't have that in Korogwe, but we do here.



Hot water heaters are extremely rare. Again, if you are lucky, there is still a way to get hot showers - by adding this to the shower head. We have one in our current house, but we get shocked sometimes so we often opt for bucket baths if we want hot water. Many nights, it's so hot that a cold shower feels good.



The streets are always full of people as most don't have cars and must walk.



Many men make their living by hauling stuff for people or selling their goods (like sugar cane) on the street. They are very strong and hard working.



Another way to make a living is to drive a motorcycle and give people rides for money. We have used this form of transportation MANY times.



A common sight... cows crossing the highway. They have the right of way! You hit one... you buy it.



Huts by the road side.



Young boys are often left in charge of livestock.



I hope you found these as interesting as I did. Thanks Terry for the photos!
