On our way back to Arusha, we stopped for a coffee at the beautiful Mountain View Lodge, where tourists go when they come to Tanzania for safari. We sat for coffee out on the beautifully manicured lawn surrounded by incredible gardens. It was a surprising contrast,….going from the simplicity of the common African home to the posh luxury of a resort.
The banana plants are blooming right now. The petals of the flower unfold one layer at a time exposing little flowers beneath. Those flowers get pollinated and voila! Bananas begin to grow in rows and then in bunches.
