A Week in Africa - Saturday

We spent most of the day packing up and preparing for our trip to Arusha. Our team has a week vacation next week as a time to rest before the everyone starts teaching in January. We needed to leave our house at 2:15a to be ready to catch the bus. I didn't keep track of the play by play today, but by now you should be getting a better picture of how daily life goes.

Nia took a break in the hammock Mat set up in our storage room.

Thai wanted to cover her hair the way Megan, Kim and dawn do.

 

If you leave the door open very long this is what you get - a few crazy kids hanging out.

I needed to wash diapers so they were all clean for our trip.

 

We needed a snack for the 8-10 hour bus ride - I made soft pretzels.

Mat uses the car to get on the roof in order to take down the solar panel.

 

We were told as a matter of fact that our panel would be stolen if we left it up while we were gone!

 

Our neighbors came by to wish us a safe trip. Mt offered to take their picture and have it printed for them. A family picture is something most people don't have.

 

We're packed. Two backpacks and an action packer - Arusha or Bust!
