I am quickly at the internet cafe'. It has been a wonderful time thus far. Barbara has arrived safe and sound to Dar and with all her luggage!! We have spent time in Dar meeting w/many friends and family of Roland. The electricity is not stable at our hotel and all I can say is THANK GOD I have a HarleyDavidson Dew Rag to wear. My hair is not repesenting itself like the East African women. This has been an incredible challenge for me. No way to dry or curl my hair!!! LOL . Today we took the boat to Zanzibar. The ride was smooth. This place is heaven. We have had a personal escourt to take us all over the city, it was just great. We went to Prisoner island and saw the giant tortoises (my dream) Tomorrow we will be here for the largest East African music festival. More than 100,000 people are here to celebrate with music. It should be an amazing day. We will arrive back to Dar on Monday and spend the day. Tuesday we will journey back to our home in Mwika. This is wear we will begin our work with Maringa Juu and Kondiki Church.
Things are very well. Happy Valentines day to everyone. Thank you for reading my blog and keeping me and the others in your prayers.
Until next time!
Cheers!!

Happy Valentines day Pammy,
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know you are well and enjoying the heat, while we are enjoying a little snow. I am glad you got to find the sea turtles and hope you saw the one you had planned on. We have sooo much help from so many of your friends and family, that the girls want for nothing.
I know you are now on to the heavy lifting of determining what your future steps will be. As you know we wish you well in your discovery.
Love Tom, Bridget, Libby and Roscoe
Pam,
ReplyDeleteThe giant tortoises sound really neat. We are also glad Barbara arrived safely with her luggage. Did you ever get yours? The hair issue definitely sounds like a challenge. We are looking forward to hearing more about the children of Mwika. We are thinking about you every day..

Glad H-D could help out in some way, I feel better knowing the lack of black sandals is no longer the #1 fashion concern :-). Miss you and love you girlie, glad this is turning out to be everything you wanted and more! Hi to Ann and blessings to all of you.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to amaze me Pam! God knew what he was doing when he sent you on this journey. Can't wait to keep reading and know we are all praying for you!
ReplyDeleteLove, Ann
To Pam & her companions....

Hi Pam,
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun to read your blog. I can only imagine how inspiring this whole journey must be for you. Thanks for taking us along while you live your dream! Take care!
Love, Nancy (and Kurt too!)
Hello again from the Third Graders! We are enjoying reading your blogs. We had a discussion today about what it must feel like to lose electricity for long periods of time. Some students thought it hard to go without electricity for hours. This would be especially difficult if we were to lose electricity during the night. Talk about scary! We all miss you and hope you are having a safe and happy trip!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, This trip sounds like an adventure, challange and an answer to a prayer. Enjoy your blog. Wish there were more. Tell Barb I'm thinking of her.
