We may be in the big city of Dar es-Salaam, but we still marvel at the beauty of nature. Every night around 6 p.m. as it gets dark, thousands of birds fly inland.
We thought they were crows, but learned they are not birds at all. They are bats! They will feed on fruit like mangoes and in the morning return to their roosts not far from here.
Some people are actually wondering what to do about the bats. They can destroy an entire village’s fruit harvest.
On a lighter note, we celebrated the end of Sister Liberata’s sewing class. She had a lot to show us. And remember these are all sewed on treadle sewing machines, because of limited electricity.
Tomorrow we set off for the airport around 7 p.m., arriving in Chicago Friday afternoon. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
