We climbed Uluguru Mountain today. Our guide kept us at a quick pace (a really quick pace) and we took a different path than normal so we climbed a lot of extreme vertical jungle through hill side corn fields. We marked our path a few times so we'd know where we had been on the way down. A lot of slipping through the mud and clinging to trees. One group of us got to one of the peaks that looked out over Morogoro and got some good glimpses of some waterfalls, and another group of us took at little more time to savor the journey. At least half of our group walked home with wet, muddy pants from some pitfalls. We were weary by the end of our hike, but it was an exciting adventure!

Tomorrow we're visiting a village. We've been practicing some songs to sing as a "choir" and will be accompanied by two maracas and a guitar. We will sound really good.

As of now, we're all malaria free. Good news!
