8/30. Ave low59/high78. We are staying in Arusha, Tanzania at Arusha Gran Malia, an 18 acre coffee and tea plantation.  No meals are included today.   We toured the adjacent workshop.  The workers  have meaningful employment.  They make a lot of items that the hotels use - pillows, placemats, rugs, weaving, glass blowing (they gave me a glass heart and I bought a glass elephant.),sewing, etc.  Other hotels order things too.
