A lot has happened since the last post. We shopped at the Maasai market in Arusha and saw the tourist economy there \u2013 not my favorite part. Then we went on a safari in Ngorongoro crater. Kudos to our drivers \u2013 nothing like African back roads. We saw 4 of the \u2018big 5\u2019 \u2013 no leopard this time. The lions were very entertaining \u2013 sleep was their number one concern. National Geographic has nothing on this one.<\/p>\n

We also hike up to Engare Sare river gorge and waterfall. It was amazing. Apparently, Dr. Koti finds pirates wherever he goes \u2013 well ok, this time it was just bandits. It was ok this time because there were no broken bones. After a short break we decided to learn more about volcanoes; so we took a night hike of Ol Donyo Lengai.\u00a0 All I can really say about this hike was that we survived!! I don\u2019t think anyone in the group will ever forget this. Make sure when you see one of us to ask about all the ash. I think it will take a week to get it all washed off, but following the Southern Cross and seeing the sunrise was well worth all the effort.<\/p>\n
