For those of you know Tanzania, they were interning at Neema Crafts. Staying with them, I was near Masumbo, where I had spent the semester in 2008! We even got to go back and visit the campus one afternoon. The pictures here are ones that all of you who have been on Houghton\u2019s Tanzania program will recognize.<\/p>\n<p>Besides visiting Houghton\u2019s campus, I also got to spend time around town. I enjoyed being a tourist, spending time with friends, and brushing up on my Swahili. It was fun that even though at the beginning of the week my Swahili was next to nothing, by the end I could carry on basic conversations again. It\u2019s encouraging that it\u2019s easier to re-learn a language than to learn it from scratch. Hooray!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/2013\/09\/25\/masumbo\/aardvark\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-527\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-527\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/707\/files\/2013\/09\/aardvark-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/aardvark-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/aardvark.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/2013\/09\/25\/masumbo\/banda\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-528\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-528\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/707\/files\/2013\/09\/banda-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/banda-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/banda.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/2013\/09\/25\/masumbo\/in-class\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-529\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-529\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/707\/files\/2013\/09\/in-class-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/in-class-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/in-class.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/2013\/09\/25\/masumbo\/zipline\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-530\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/707\/files\/2013\/09\/zipline-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/zipline-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/susie-l\/files\/2013\/09\/zipline.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I was out in Tanzania for the PGA training, I decided to spend a week with a good friend from Houghton College and her husband \u2013 Maria and Eric.
