Tanzania Out-takes

Posted on July 12, 2015 by No Map Required Posted in Places, Tanzania .

You know at the end of the movie when they sometimes run a reel of bloopers or out-takes? Or maybe they act out something super silly and just tack it on after the credits to reward everyone for staying through to the very, very end? Well, we have a bunch of photos that maybe weren’t classy enough (what? Us? Not classy? Hah!) to make it into any of our Tanzania blogs. In some cases, maybe we already had too many pictures or maybe it was just a goofy photo and we couldn’t figure out where to put it. Still, I love them and can’t resist putting them up for you to enjoy…even if there’s no particular story connecting them…just fun photos from TZ.

Ohhh, the patterns:

Land.

By land…

Air.

Air…

Sea.

…and Sea.

No matter what, just keep carrying on…

If you don’t have a donkey cart, a motorcycle will do!

Truly random things:

How cool is this tree?

Gotta say this is a great international ad campaign. In Seattle they say, "Have a Coke with Mike and Jennifer". In Central/South America they say, "Have a Coke with Jose and Maria." And in TZ they say, "Have a Coke with Salum and Peter...and Mohamed, Salime, and Happy."

Just for Ben and Morgan because we KNOW you will love seeing the word "Kaka" in print. In Swahili is means "brother" and since you're brothers you should have a Coke with your Kaka.

Oh the places we went!

Stopped at this church during one of David's tours of Arusha. The preacher/priest insisted on putting on his long black robe before letting us into the little huble church - which we thought looked SO cool with the puffy clouds and blue sky. We asked a few questions about his congregation -- which mostly goes to another church a ways away. He walked us around and described the six paintings on the wall - Jesus, Joseph, Mary and a few other guys. I thought it was amusing because even Aaron and I can recogonize a holy family without a guide....maybe we look worst off than we think.

Stopped at this Greek Orthodox church during one of David’s tours of Tanga. The priest insisted on putting on his long black robe before letting us inside. Couldn’t resist matching it’s blue and white with the puffy clouds and blue sky.

I just liked the sign.

Such a great sign.

This forest is owned by the Amboni Corportation CHECK - but the peopel of Amboni get nothing from it. There was a lot of this sort of thing in TZ and it's one thing we really disliked.

Thankfully this bridge has been replaced because those aren't puddles, those are holes and most of the bolts have been stollen off the bridge. Still, I thought it looked cool. BRIIIIIDGE!

Coonut shells washed up on the shore. I think they look interesting. The hostal staff scoops them up and removes them regularly otherwise the beach would be solid coconuts!

It was the people who really made the trip special!

We visited a lot of primary schools and everywhere the kids were enthusiastic and fun.  They ALL love taking pictures.

Pull out a camera in a primary school and kids go wild! We did it every chance we could. Looking back, I hope the teachers don’t hate us!

One of the women from the Tie Dye Seminar. I just love how she looks in this photo.

Making chipati, this women was increcibly welcoming and let us take photos of her at work...many people don't agree photos.

Making chipati. This woman was incredibly welcoming and let us take photos of her at work…many people don’t agree to photos or want to be paid. Not only did she say yes, but she got out a new piece of dough and started rolling it out so the picture would be good.

On the 90 second ferry ride during our road trip.

On the 90 second ferry ride during our road trip. I love the colors and his expression.

These ADORABLE little childen ran into the hotel lobby and (I believe on a dare) one of them touched me. When neither of us burst into flames the rest rushed in and it was hugs and giggles all the way around. I had the presence of mind to turn on the camera on my table. Moments later the hotel staff broke up the fun.

I had the presence of mind to turn on the camera on my tablet just moments before the hotel staff broke up the fun.

And now, the Goofball Collection.

My hubs, who I think is a handsom devil!

My hubs, who I think is a handsome devil! Back off ladies! Back. Off.

Fresh picked coconut, husked and then cut open. We drank the milk and then using a coconut slice we scooped out the meat. It was ga-oood!

Fresh picked coconut, husked and then cut open. We drank the milk and then using a coconut slice we scooped out the meat. It was ga-oood! David, Aaron and I all sat in a row on a log out in a forested area in rural TZ and had a coconut break, like you might have a coffee break.

See Ladies, this is why you should ust walk away...you don't want to deal with this, do you?

See Ladies, this is why you should just walk away…you don’t want to deal with this, do you? I didn’t think so.

Our friend Vicky gives me a new fancy braid/bun infront of Ruth Place. That's where I learned beauty does has a price.

Yes, it's a hand-made hallowed out wood canoe, but what's so great is David's expression. He's watching me like a hawk because 5 seconds earlier I nearly fall over possibly breaking somebody's canoe speak nothing of my own body. He's always a polite and professional guide and is clearly just sort of putting up with Aaron and I and our need to document even the most rudimentary things.

Yes, it’s a hand-made hollowed out wood canoe, but what’s so great is David’s expression. You see he’s humoring us at that very moment. He’s watching me like a hawk because not five seconds earlier I fell over nearly breaking somebody’s canoe, to speak nothing of my own body. He’s always a polite and professional guide and is clearly just sort of putting up with Aaron and I and our need to try and take a funny picture that will go viral on FB (but never does).

Again. David, the ultimate professional, just working away cleaning the prawns while Aaron and I pose with them. Sorry America. We try to be good ambassadors, but sometimes we are just good old american goof balls.

    Goof balls. You two? Gee, I remember you always being so serious on safari. Okay, okay. I’m lying. Goof balls you are and I love you for it. PS. Anner, he is indeed a handsome devil.
