My mom finally arrived in Africa. After only about 12 hours of being in Arusha, my housemates and I decided to head to Maji Moto (the local hot springs) to swim for the day. It was an interesting ride out there to say the least. We put my mom on a cramped public bus, full of locals, and packed to the brim, to begin the journey. After arriving in the village where the spring is located, we took seven pikipikis (motorcycles), one for each of us, on a 45 minute ride back to the springs. It was an interesting sight seeing my mom hop on the back of a pikipiki, and ride off onto the dusty rode. She LOVED it though, and don't let her tell you anything different. We arrived back at the gorgeous hot springs, and enjoyed a nice long day of swimming and playing on the rope swing. It was an amazing first day in Tanzania for my mom, and would only be the start of an 11 day adventure. Here are some pictures from the day
