Monday evening

Elizabeth and David and I are now alone with the dogs, Sinde and Cheza , in Ilboru. Jeff left tonight and we will miss him!!!! He will add pictures when he gets home. The safari group reports the migration of wildebeest and zebra is at Ndutu ( where they are), 20 lions, 3 cheetahs next to the vehicle, leopard, etc.

We have visited the school, eaten about 5 times, driven up and down the lovely roads, had the best "chilly" cashews ever, and Indian food for the second day.

Friday was dinner at friends' Farida and Saif's home. It was delicious and lovely and they are the most gracious of hosts. Sat. we had a school board meeting that was good. They are very grateful for books and 11 working computers and sorted parts in the computer lab, and people to talk to and teachers in the classes and baseball and baseball hats.
My favorite baseball game story was of Mr. Mosha, who is the Swahili/english teacher - and a delightful man. He wanted to bat and had no idea what to do. So he missed the ball several times - everyone laughing with him, hit it and ran to 1st - with some direction from the "coaches". Then the next student hit the ball and I told Mr. Mosha to run to second base, which he did, but then he ran off into the field, caught the next hit ball and threw it somewhere. He finally ended up at home, where we retired hiim for the day.
Sunday was church at the International church where we saw many friends, lunch at Ilboru Safari Lodge, then the curry and movie. We're eating too much! Elizabeth promises that she won't cook for us, but then she usually doesn't:-) .
Lots meetings this week, so it's good to be here - but I do miss the safari!
Enough- it's still warm and humid, but we sleep comfortably. Mary, Elizabeth, and David
