She's Here!

Jenny arrives at Kilimanjaro Airport!

Back at Kwa Babu, a feast was prepared for Jenny's arrival

Jenny has arrived! We are so excited to have Jenny join us! Tom and I hired a taxi to take us to the airport to greet Jenny. We had to pay for the gas before we started. It was so great to see Jenny get off that plane! (Yes, we were able to look through the window and see her walk off onto the tarmac).

The real adventure began as we started to go home. The taxi started stuttering and stopping. We coasted into a petrol station and now paid for the driver to add more oil. We slowly limped out onto the road and listened to the transmission crunching the rest of the way home. This was definitely not a taxi to be out on the highway. We were all holding our breath and praying for this little cab, but it finally made it back to Arusha!

We have been showing Jenny around and helping her make connections. We are rationed to about two to three hours of electrical power per day. The energy crisis has worsened due to the drought, which means not enough water to power the hydroelectric dam.

So, the power has gone off again, and I will sign off to save the computer battery for other things!

We are well, we are excited, and we continue to have a great adventure!
