Hey,  this week is a week off for the school and I am traveling to meet with contractors and playground suppliers as well as doing some long awaited internet work.  So no big items to really put out there this week so I treating you to some photos I have been taking for practice.  I have a lot of birds, though most of them are about the size of my thumb and some of Kilimanjaro and some flowers that are part of the trees around our site even a cat.  Before you ask, I don't know what type of birds they are or what type of flower it is.  I hope you enjoy.   Sun about to go down over the hills behind our school We got a rainbow without the rain Head teacher's rooster that I hope is dinner soon Head teacher's hen-not sure what happened to her but she has looked like she was partially digested since  she arrived. Head teacher's paka (cat) stretches out for a nap after running all the birds away Just missed hi

Water/Maji

The kids getting ready for the water to flow In the USA we really don’t think that much about water.   I realize if you are dealing with a flood you think about non-stop.   But for most of us it really is not something we think about until we get the bill every month.    You go to the faucet and turn it on.   The biggest problem most people have now is figuring out where the sweet spot on the hands-free sensor is to get and keep the water running.   The new controls wired in What you don’t have to worry about is how far you must walk to get water, or how far you must drive your cattle to get water.   You don’t think about getting your donkeys ready to carry a bunch of water jugs for you.   When you want to do laundry, you most likely go to a machine in your house and it is already connected to the water for you.   You don’t have to carry your laundry to the water and wash it in front of everybody else in the village.   I have said “you” a lot in all this, but I mean m

You travel all the way to Tanzania you should do a safari

This is the final installment for the recent mission team visit.  Every team that comes over should in fact do a safari because it is a part of the overall experience that is traveling to Tanzania.  In the past I have always recommended going to Ngorongoro for a one day trip and it is still an excellent place to go.  However, it is more expensive than most of the other trips because they charge per person and for the vehicle both and it is one of the most popular safari sites in Tanzania which leads to a lot of people being there.  In fact during the June-August tourist season it is not uncommon to have wait in a vehicle line of 10 or more safari trucks trying to roll their group into picture taking position of the main attractions.  Some times it feels a little more like a zoo than a safari. I have started to recommend Tarangire more often because it is less expensive and the only vehicle crowding issues are at the lunch spots.  They have a great viewing of wildlife with herds
