Zzzzzzz

 No photo today,  but know that after a long bus ride we arrived safely in Masasi with all our bags. We enjoyed a wonderful greeting from S Sophia and S Pauli. No electricity, but no worries, we are ready to crawl under our mosquito nets and go to sleep.

Air Hockey in Tanzania?

Friday was our first full day. It was a rest day. 

We slept a bit, took a short walk around the village and visited with the sisters.

In the evening we enjoyed time with the sisters for recreation. Here Sister Angelina and Sister Monica are playing air hockey on Sue's iPad.   A good first day.

Happily Landed!


Here is a picture of Margaret on the plane. The flights went well , just a long journey- Chicago to New York to Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro to Dar es Salaam. Arrived late Thursday night. Sr Mecky met us and the sisters greeted us with a small dinner at midnight. All is well. Africa is beautiful.
