Pictures from our field trip to Bagamoyo. We got to see an excavation site where graduate students from the University are uncovering quartz tools from ancient civilizations, the first church to ever be built in Tanzania, and ancient Portuguese and German ruins.
The trees here are amazing! These are Baobob trees, some of my favorites so far. Their trunks are massive
(up to 35 ft in diameter) and they live for thousands of years. How cool! The group really enjoys climbing the Baobobs on campus, especially biology majors because they are home to many interesting bugs. Once in the field we may have to be a little more careful since they are also home to dangerous snakes! Yikes!
In addition to the monkeys on campus and the bigger animals we are sure to see on safari and in the field portion, we have been seeing lots of interesting creepy, crawly, and hoppy creatures too. A tiny tiny toad we found in a patch of grass and a beautiful caterpillar strolling across a twig.
