Intro




Habari family and friends,


Jambo! This is our first attempt at blogging. Pictures take very long to upload onto the blog site so we will only be able to pick select photos to show you. Everything is great so far. We are safe and healthy. Things are quite different here, especially in town, but we are being well taken care of by Erasmus and family. This first pic is of his daughter, Agatha. She is 4 years old, adorable and has already latched onto Andy's hip. Our house is very comfortable. With all of our luggage, it is a tight fit inside of our room, but we worked out a creative arrangement that works. We are living with Erasmus, Dilis his wife, Agatha, Dilis's sister Gloria, and Christina the baby sitter. We speak mostly with Erasmus and Glori, who speaks the second best english in the house. We also talk alot with Agatha but she knows no english and we mostly babble and play games with her. Suprisingly, they have a tv and a DVD player but only own about 3 DVD's and receive 1 tv channel. Food consists mostly of rice, beef and beans. It is pretty good, but a little heavy on the fat. Check our next blog for info on the town and other interesting experiences so far.
Asante Sana(thank you very much)
Andy and Ryan

Your mother sent me an email giving me the address of your blog site. It sounds as though you are having an interesting time. It has been 5 years since I was in Moshi, but your text and photos bring it back to life for me. I hope that you will have the time to climb Kilimanjaro and also travel to the Serengeti and the Gorongoro Crater to see the animals. We used a local company for both trips which were well done and not expensive.
Have a great time.
