o It is a tiny town with many little stalls filled with knick-knacks, a few restaurants and hotels, and several churches. Most of the ICAP staff appears to attend the Roman Catholic Church, but there is also at least one Lutheran Church.
o Apparently, material items in Bukoba are more expensive than in Dar, which is the opposite of what I would have thought originally as it is more rural. Being rural, however, things turn out to be more expensive because it costs so much more for items to reach this remote area of the country.
o The foliage and landscapes are incredible. I love walking on the orange-red dirt roads, seeing the different plants – banana trees, coffee trees, papaya trees, flowers, etc. From our hotel, we have a great view of Lake Victoria and an island just off the coast. Down by the center of town, one can easily walk to the beach and see the fishermen with their daily catch. On Saturday, we even caught a wedding!
