Mtengo


The baobab tree, is an enormous tree which I'm sure you all know about. I feel like it's one of those famous African things that some of you are sitting at home thinking, when am I gonna see a baobab entry on Conor's blog? Well here it is. This is just a close up picture of the tree in the yard at Gracious. Some of us are a little nervous about what might happen if this massive tree falls down on the classrooms. But it sure does look nice.


The trees are useless when it comes to construction. They're lumber is too soft. You can eat the seeds though. I had the chance to try some the other day, and found them quite tasty.

Conor,

That is really a beautiful tree. I've always wondered what one looks like. Now I know.
