TANZANIA: MONDAY JUNE 2-1ST DAY OF LEON SULLIVAN SUMMIT

Today I wanted to go shopping in the city and look around. My driver Tito picked up my roommate and I and took us out on the town. I bought some beautiful statues and pictures etc.... From what I am hearing it a bit more expensive here in Tanzania vs. Ethiopia...but, I also hear the Ethiopian poverty level is even worse than Tanzania. Honestly though, most of the people I have seen EXCEPT FOR THE TIMES WE HEAD TO THE BUSH AREAS, are carrying cell phones, dress in suits. I mean, obviously the locals don't have "money" per say...but, they seem way happier than we are in America..even with all we have. Here's some photos while I was out on the town.
