Mwaka Mpya! (Happy New Year!) We are back from our vacation on the beach, which was really great. Pangani was beautiful and the ocean was warm so what more can you ask for? We just camped in a tent the whole week so it was pretty low key. We went with the Simonson family and they were very accommodating and welcoming to us as always. On our last day we went snorkeling which was our favorite part of the whole week. Neither of us have been before so it was incredible, but we have also heard from people who have been a lot that that was some of the best in the world. We saw octopus, a sting ray, eels, starfish and an endless array of colorful fish and corals. I think we are hooked and will want to go on all of our vacations now!
It was nice to get home to Arusha and get back into the swing of daily life. The vacation was much needed and will help us get through the challenges we will face in the coming months. Unfortunately last night we got bad news from Wyoming that one of Zach’s best friends committed suicide and we are struggling with feeling helpless and out of touch being so far away from home. Please keep us and his family in your thoughts and prayers over the coming days and weeks.
