Geita to Mwanza: Part 1

A couple of months ago (has it really been that long!) when my parents were here, my mom asked me to take a few pics of houses on our drive from Geita to Mwanza. I got a little carried away and took tons of pictures. I decided it might be a nice blog post, to show you the Tanzanian countryside and towns that we see when we make that drive. Even after carefully selecting which pictures to include, it's a lot, so I'm going to break this into two posts. Here's part one:

a house

witchdoctor huts



the concrete post is a mile marker


many buildings between Geita and Mwanza have been marked with red spray paint to be destroyed because they are too close to the road. Some now have a series of numbers on them. We're not entirely sure why.

laundry drying

bicycles are a major form of transportation

a mill



lumber yard

housing

cows and goats in the road

in the back there is a water hole where cows and goats are drinking

this sign indicates that you are leaving the town of Nyasenga

bicycles are used to haul EVERYTHING

this is the back of a truck we were passing

rock formations like this appear more and more as you approach Lake Victoria

the lake is visible in the back ground
