First Days In Tanzania

Hi Mom,
 We've had two wonderful days in Tanzania.  I don't think we'll be able to post again for a week or so, no internet access.  I was surprised we had it here!  Here are some pictures from our school visits on Friday and our hike to a waterfall on the edges of Mt. Kilimanjaro.  We got up to about 6500 feet of the 18.000+ feet to the top.  A group of British climbers stayed at our Lodge last night and left this morning for 6 days on the mountain.  4 climbing up and 2 climbing down.


Here are some pictures.
