Arusha and the canyon - 03.02

We fly through the night and arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport in the morning. After a very detailed passport control, we finally step out of the airport. There, along with many other people, a member of the Jesuit Community of Arusha is waiting for us to take us to his community. Admittedly, we are pretty tired, and my head keeps falling back because I fall asleep for a moment, but there is a lot to see on the drive to the community and that keeps us awake. When we arrive, we eat something briefly and then one of the Jesuits shows us the area and the surrounding area. Among other things, we see the many animals of the Jesuits, who own several farm animals such as goats and pigs, as well as pets such as rabbits and dogs.

We also come to a gorge with a river. We students go down into the gorge with our guide and enjoy the view while the teachers wait for us at the top.

Afterwards we go back to the community and shortly afterwards drive to Arusha, one of the largest cities in Tanzania. There we look around and have a drink with our guides.

Later we return to where we stayed overnight. For dinner, the Jesuits have the idea that we divide ourselves completely between the tables so that each of us can talk to the people. Everyone introduces themselves and at the end Mr. Martin sings something. So dinner goes by very quickly and is also very interesting and funny. At the end, we say goodbye and enjoy the many stars that can be seen in the sky, and then we just fall into our beds and fall asleep immediately.
