Zanzibar 1:15 pm - Thanks Wrigglesworth! I'm looking forward to at least a couple more dives - apparently there's a decent one right off the reef on our beach! Will keep you posted!
We made our walk in to Nungwi village yesterday. A very interesting little place and obviously doing very well by the tourists arriving in droves to Zanzibar. Although the mass of resorts/restaurants are a stark contrast to the mud huts only a few minutes walk away. The locals are friendly and the little kids more than enthusiastic to wave to strangers. Someone has taught the little ones to say "money" at the first sight of a white person...not surprising I suppose. We've posted a picture of the "waste management" project on the road to Nungwi...hope you get as much humor out of it as we did!! We also found Joanne (the Canadian from Penticton) who has opened a coffee shop in the compound of her husband's family hotel. Always enthusiastic to find another Canadian we had cake and cold drinks - I couldn't manage hot coffee in 30 degree weather but hey...those are the struggles we deal with here daily. :)
Since I've completely lost track of the days...I'll wish my Baby Bro a Happy Birthday and Mom and Dad a Happy Anniversary!! Looking forward to celebrating when we get home!! BTW - Mom...are you reading this?!?! No comments from you yet? Nice restraint! Love you all!
Nancy - nice work at Tony Roma's...I'm learning a few good tricks here!!!

Here I am! And like others, totally addicted to checking in with you daily. The blow by blow descriptions after the fact keep my BP low as it's too late to worry by then! Sounds like you are having a fab time. Maybe I can talk you into scrapbooking your [mis]adventures when you get home?! Those of us with inquiring minds wonder whatever happened to Jack of the shorts and flipflops at Kili? Did he summit?
Love to you both. Play safely.
Mom
Kim,
Hi! Sounds like you guys are having a blast. It is pouring rain here in Calgary as has been for the past week.
My belly is getting big & I am missing red wine! Glad to hear that you are fully experiencing the red wine of Africa.
Love reading about your trip.
Miss you

Kim and Grant - what a wonderful adventure...Andrew and I are very jealous...congrats on the climb.I think that scrap-booking is a great idea! Take good care of each other. I'm having lunch with your Mom tomorrow (Thurs. 18), Kim.
Lots of love, Gretchen
I'm with your Mom... wondering whatever happened to Jack!! :-) So glad to hear you guys make it up and back safely! If I ever do a major fitness project I'm hiring Grant to be my motivational speaker, can't wait to hear the Tony Robbins impression!! Take good care of each other, enjoy the sun!
