Ariving in Dar es Salaam and on to Zanzibar

Our trip to Dar Es Salaam was worth it. They have a Subway there!!!! We arrived late on Saturday night so nothing was open but after church on Sunday we were the first customers at Subway. It has never tasted so good!

On a beach in Dar.


Playing in the Indian Ocean in Dar. Baxter, Luke and our professor's sons.


Jumping waves. I didn't know Emily could jump so high!!


Tracy and Dinah (professor's daughter) buried in the sand.



On the 2 and 1/2 hour ferry ride to Zanzibar!


Our first glimpse of Stone Town in Zanzibar.


More Stone Town.


More Stone Town.

We made it to the house we would be staying in. At first we thought it was the tent but then we were told it was the house in the back. A big house by Zanzibar standards but not finished yet on the inside. It gave us shelter and we had a nice time there. I'm not sure Ryan thought the first night was fun as he was eaten alive by fleas. The second night, Emily was eaten alive by mosquitos. She had over 120 bites and we wondered about malaria. She doesn't seem to have been affected. This is a wonderful blessing and we are very grateful.

More views of the house and the area (below) that the house was in.



Beautiful Zanzibar sunset complete with a Dhow. This was our treat the first night we were there. God is good!!

What a sweet picture of Emily to greet me as I first opened your blog! I miss having "my two Emilys" in Sunday School.
