We've arrived!


We had a very good trip to TZ. We had just enough time to go into London to see Buckingham palace, the double decker buses, Big Ben, Westminster Abby and the red phone booths (Laura’s favorite). It was perfect weather be walking around London. Our pilot said it would be overcast and rainy and it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day.

We arrived in Dar es Salaam (TZ capitol) around 6:30 Tuesday morning.  All of our luggage arrived except one tote. We are praying it arrives by Saturday when we leave for language school. It has the DVD players in it that the kids are hoping to have at language school plus some of Keith’s techy stuff.  The kids slept a good bit on the second flight so that was a huge blessing. It is much easier for the kids to curl up in a plane seat than it is for us adults.

We are staying at the guest house at the offices in Dar. It was wonderful to take a shower this morning when we arrived. It never rains this time of year in Dar and guess what it has rained off and on all day today. I guess we just brought the rain with us. But as Luke said we kept in our suitcases while in London because it was a sunny day.

Upon arriving at the offices/guest house we met a family that is driving to language school on Saturday so we will be able to follow them. We were thrilled to hear that. We don’t have to navigate the TZ roads alone.
