A big congratulations to Barack Obama for his us election win. This will really change the world having a African-American President. We are reading a history book out loud that has all the history about the slave trade and the first settlements in Africa and now there is a Black President of The United States of America. Wow the world has come a long way.
Sally and Rose leave tomorrow. So we are all going I to Tanga for the day and then we are staying the night at a hoteli. Today was Rose’s final day of teaching at the school and Sister Gwyneth gave her and Sally a map of Africa carved on a slab of Banana tree. Their final week has gone so fast with my parents in Tanga and us up and down to school everyday. Good time to have a three day weekend.
Graham should be posting some photos on the blogs son. Hopefully! We just sent him the passwords so any day now.
School is getting more and more boring. We write are exams on Thursday of next week. That should be interesting. I might be helping Sister with the laptops and maybe even running some little practice times so that the kids don’t lose touch of the skills. I now can’t wait to ride S and R’s bike everyday since it is so much better and so quiet. I am making new friends at school and playing tons of marbles. This week was a rather bad week or a up and down because you never know how you are going to do.
Sal and Rose have now left That just shows you how long it takes to right a blog. We had a very nice visit with them, but just the same it is very sad to see them go. I guess now all those guys in Victoria will hear some great stories. They right now are in Zanibar and will be until Wednesday before they head home.
We have now received two pieces of mail!!!! One from the Victoria clan at Thanksgiving and one from Rachel (Rose’s daughter) in Korea. Please keep them coming. We figure that it seems to take about 2 weeks form Canada and some where around that from Korea.
I have a massive sunburn from being at the Mkonge with Sally and Rose on Friday. The doxychycln makes your skin more sensitive to the sun so I am much easier to burn. That really sucks.
I will talk again soon.

griff... love the blog.
what an amazing written 'voice' you have. it blows my mind that you are now 13 (seems like i just met you as a 9 year old yesterday) and at the same time you seem light years ahead as such.
i certainly don't watch as much soccer or pay as much attention to any sports really (i'm sorry, it's true!) since not seeing you and sy, but i still think of you both often. the rare times i sit down at a piano i think of listening to you practice, how i never had to ask you at all.. amazing.
it is now cold (-10) and snowy in winterpeg. though that at least makes the holidays seem nearer, ha. i am done my classes in april and am thinking of moving to whitehorse to work for a bit; i really want to spend some time in the very north of our country. i imagine canoe and kayak trips without seeing another soul for weeks on end..
minnow the cat is still alive and well, waking me up at all hours and keeping the other cats in the neighbourhood in line.
hugs to you all..
