Locals

Here is my dad at the Makonde Highway Strip Mall. The unassuming entrepreneur walking behind him would later burn us for tens of thousands of shillings in exchange for trinkets we could have bought at the airport for a fraction of the price.

They may look relaxed, but these men and many others (women, too) were toiling away furiosly carving elephants and coke bottles out of ebony.

I gave this man 1000 shillings for the right to take his picture. He seemed very happy, and his friends thought it was hilarious for some reason.

Dar Es Salaam

Dar is growing at an incredible rate. Every building under construction uses sticks to keep the new floors up.

In the suburbs. This is what a condo park looks like in Tanzania. I wonder who lives there?

There were tons of identical furniture stores in Dar Es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania and the only one I visited.
