Busy Busy Last Two Weeks in Moshi

Kibo and Mawenzi make up Kilimanjaro

Kibo, the big peak almost touching....glaciers fast fading

Events have picked up in our last two weeks in Moshi.  We had a fantastic Youth Community Advisory Board Meeting, and learned to two of our members got married!!! They had met in the clinic, and because of Youth CAB had found that they really could live a normal life and together.  It is very romantic, and the whole Youth CAB is happy for them.  I feel particularly happy about this because the young woman ran with me in the Kilimanjaro Marathon last year, and kept me going, even when we wound up running 10K instead of 5K.  So, it was very fun to see them so happy together.  The Youth CAB as a whole had a good day.

After retreating to get out of rain

We had a beautiful Hash (flour run) on Sunday up in the coffee farms behind our house near Mwenge College. Our friend Susie set the hash, and it was long and a bit tough (because of an irrigation ditch you had to straddle for quite some time) but really different and beautiful.  The river part of the run was very scary for me because I was afraid I would fall, but all turned out ok.  Most people here know that I am terrified of heights and falling.  Anyway, it all worked out and at the end of the run, we had nice beer and a beautiful view of Kilimanjaro from her house near the college.  It is barely 1 Kilometer from our house, but you feel like you can just touch the mountain from there.

Bob is back!
