Habari everyone,
Got to Muheza safely, long long journey but lots of free stuff from biscuits to toiletry bags along the way.
I start school on Tuesday and will ride to school , just like at home.
Played lots of soccer already, our ball is like a magnet. You can bring it out for 5 minutes and have 20 kids around you.
Slowly picking up some of the language which is Swahili. I don’t know if I will be fluent by the end of it, but I should be able to have a conversation. Pops are like 50 cents, so you have to be careful not to drink 5 of them one day.
The weather has been hot as planned, around 28-35 degrees and this is in the cooler season. Apparently it will get close to 38 in Dec or Jan.
Tons of fruit and veg at the market, which is always a really hoppin’ place, so many different kinds of things being sold there from Billabong T-shirts to handmade woven baskets all at amazing low prices.
There are a few trees near our house which are swarmed with fruit bats, who make tons of noise and I have not been crapped on yet . they have yellow poo so it blends into the ground. Had been sleeping with the fan on all night and mosquito nets to prevent diseases like malaria and dengue fever.
Limited internet connection has made it hard for us to email and there has been a mass power outage at the hospital which no-one knows the cause of. Internet access should get better when that is solved.
Please keep checking the blog for further updates. Should be easier when the internet problem is solved at the hospital.

Thanks for the update, Griff. We would like to learn about where you are living and about the people with whom you are interacting. We're sure that you will have an adventure tomorrow at school. We'll look forward to reading about it. Lots of love, Bop and Charline
