The First 10 Days...in Pictures

I thought I should finally clear off some of the pictures from my camera.  Hope you enjoy!  Love and miss you all on this AM that I fully intended to make pancakes for my family and then discovered that I couldn't plug my grain grinder or griddle into the transformer or adapters because one of the prongs is bigger than the other one.  That's pretty normal on most American appliances, so I feel yuck that I brought all of them and now can't use them...ahhh, need to look for another set of adapters, or another transformer maybe...but, in the meantime, SUPER frustrating!


The kids' play area in Heathrow Airport, the kids were so tired!

The boys asleep on the second flight

All dressed up at the Hanson house

The kids with Katie Ness, sister of Gwangi's Chief from Springfield

The Ness family when they were leaving to go back to Moshi....ahhh, we miss them!

The kids with Sarah at Sea Cliff

Some strawberries I bought, this handful was more than $2...it was 3,500 Tanzanian Shillings (tsh)

A shot of all the construction going on everywhere in Dar

One of the houses that we were shown.  They seem to be the two extremes, not so nice and super nice.  Still looking for the middle ground.

Family day at White Sands

A view of the beach at White Sands, you can see some of the islands in the distance

Sissi, walking on the beach

Walking toward the rock wall

The kids were appalled at the trash, we'll go back one day with a trash bag and pick some of it up.

The guest house that we were staying in at the Hanson/AG Compound.

Krypto woke up with red dots ALL over him this morning.  They are starting to fade after some Benadryl.  We looked up all the bug rashes on line, can't find one that really matches....he and Gwangi say that they heard buzzing all night long, so I think something was in there...not mosquitoes though.
