Hi everyone! First off, a quick administrative note on this blog. I learned that you all are not notified of a new post unless you submit your email address in the blank at the right called "Follow by Email." So feel free to do that :)
I don't have great internet connection right now, so this will be quick, but I wanted to get a few photos out there. Melody and I met-up in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and immediately went to Saadani National Park for a few days of seeing the animals on safari. There are a few stories about how we actually got there, but I'll leave that for when I have more time. Let's suffice it to say that our plane landed in a field (not an airport); which was the same location where we saw lions hanging out the next day.
We're now on the coast of Zanzibar, the island off the coast of Tanzania, in a town called Nungwi. Here are a few pictures from the safari as well as one photo from Saadani Village. Melody and I bought a bag of candy and went to the Saadani Village (population 1200) school today to hang out with the kids and pass out candy. (Yes - all of you from Chester will notice that I took this for the Village News's travel section).
I'll put more photos up with more detailed explanations soon. Have a wonderful week!

Meredith, what wonderful pictures. We sent the one of you with the children to the Village News. Can you imagine all those animals living in your back yard? I know how excited we get with the geese at the lake. Keep the info and pictures coming. Everyone here looks forward to all that you write. Love Mom
