The Road Not Taken

Train crew arrives! Because taking pictures around government buildings, train stations and the like is forbidden without written permission it was not possible to get images of the arrival of Elliot, Ben and Ryan on the train. All the research gear is now here and the day was spent culling through it and preparing in lab. Some early morning photos of the lake and our daily trek into town to buy supplies and eat.
Market - our lunch each day on the boat
Look at the bright green crop in the distance

Maji Makubwa means Big Water. This is George's boat. George is our dive guide and all around hired help.

  1. So it sounds like the eating is coming along, but what about the lake. Have you got out on the lake yet?

  2. Great photos, gives us a sense of the town and the beach. What does the hotel look like from the outside? Is there a school in Kigoma?
