Day 8

More strange consumer products found in Tanzania:

- Red bull (purchased! This better help with my massive caffeine withdrawal)
- Pantene Pro-V Blonde Expressions shampoo and conditioner (what? There's another blonde currently in Tanzania?)
- A Hannah Montana lunch bag
- One of my favourite books in Swahili: The Little Prince, or Mwana Mdogo Wa Mfalme

This morning we went to the National Museum to try and locate the artifacts excavated from the site in 2002. They are still missing in action, but we were treated very well by one of the directors and I have high hopes. Also, it was pretty exciting to see the wild peacocks that run amok on the grounds.

We've also given our project an informal acronym: IRAP (Iringa Region Archaeological Project). I feel like this suits my personality pretty well. Bring on the research! Before then, we have a fun-filled weekend of shopping, eating, and sight-seeing planned in Dar es Salaam. I have a feeling there is some local jewellery in my near future. Perhaps also a birthday? We'll have to see!

Last but not least, here are my two favourite photos from our London trip:
