Back in Arusha

We're all together again, sans Jeff, and in Arusha. What a welcome we received at the Safari Lodge. By now I have grown accustomed to the staff recognizing us from previous years and the hugs and warm welcomes. I say that I'm accustomed to it but I admit I am in awe of the warmth. I want to carry it with me always. Tonight we will have an African dinner and then many of us are off to Zanzibar. We've been hot for days and the only thing I hear about Zanzibar is that it is HOT! I promise not to melt. I really missed blogging while on Safari but it just was not possible. When I get back to the states I promise to add pictures. WE HAVE GREAT ONES. I've never seen so many baby elephants. Stay tuned.

Thank you so much for sharing your adventures via the blog. I can only imagine the students faces when they saw all their new books. This makes Tanzania alive again for me and your writing is such a gift to all of us at home. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Barb

I'm so excited for you to see that many elephants --- especially the babies. Oh, and I'm sure the other animals were of some interest, too. Pictures - can't wait. Stories - yea. Your writing, all of you, is so wonderfully vivid. Bergel
