October 16 photo assignment: the mountains

We are spending a couple of days R&R in the mountains of Tanzania, about a 3 1/2 hour drive west from Dar.  We're staying at a Bible camp that serves youth groups and church retreats, and has several hotel rooms available for missionary use.

On the drive yesterday I took a bunch of pictures of the mountains.  They are just so amazing!

I've never seen tall mountains without snow caps...but then again, I've never lived near the equator!

I'm not really sure what those plants are - they look like huge pineapples?

This is where we are staying - at the foothills of the mountains in Morogoro.
