We have left Arusha and are traveling. Jenny, Tom, and I went to the Usambara Mountains to take a hike through this beautiful area. We stayed in the guest house of Lutindi Mental Hospital--some good stories to tell when we get home.
After this, we went to Pangani to meet up with Luke and Ellie. Of course, there were more traveling adventures along the way. I will just say that if you are in Pangani and someone comes up to you and offers to let you stay in a German doctor's summer home while he is away, run as fast as you can to the other side of town!
Luke and Ellie had a great four weeks on the farm. We stayed the night, then took a local boat over to Zanzibar. Advantages to local boat: cheaper; you are supporting local business; it is an adventure; you really do feel all the waves. Disadvantages: you get moderately wet and fairly dirty; you may lose all the contents of your stomach over the side of the boat into the Indian Ocean; you may feel a bit nervous about the ominous rain clouds just ahead of you as the boat is tossing and turning enough when the water is calm. We chose the local boat, and five hours later, were safely on the island of Zanzibar.
Since then, we have been enjoying beautiful waters, gorgeous sunsets, and great food. Today we took a Spice Tour, which was a lot of fun.
We are loving being a family of five once again and enjoying each other's company in the exciting country of Tanzania!
Hope you are all well,
Sue
P.S. Once again, it seems our internet connection is too slow for the pictures to load. We'll just have to have a big power point presentation when we get home!
