Outside of hanging out with my host family, I did not accomplish too much exploring this week. I was sick a lot of different times this past week with different symptoms so it was difficult to do too much. Before this point, I was doing pretty good health-wise but considering I have a compromised immune system, I was pretty much bound to be sick at some points. I went to Sunset Iringa one night when I was feeling better though, which is a hotel not far from where I am staying. The hotel has a restaurant that overlooks a lot of Iringa and we were able to watch the sun go down which was a beautiful site. I also went to a small museum close to where I am staying that has about four sections related to more information about Iringa, the culture, people, and history. There is a new section some university students are working on creating which is about oral histories passed down through generations. It is unfortunate to realize that the reason many of the museums in the area are much smaller and have less artifacts to show is because they have been stolen. The British museum, for example, hosts millions of stolen artifacts and it is unbelievable that they have not been returned to their rightful countries still to this day.

The pictures to the left showcase animals from the farm right down the street from the house I was in. We would go there to get fresh eggs and milk.
