We fly all over the Horn of Africa: Here are some pictures from a recent trip to Mombassa Kenya and Tanzania. Mombassa is on the coast of Kenya on the Indian Ocean. We stayed in a really nice hotel with a safari style theme. We even had monkeys wandering around our porch. Unfortunately, I didnt get any pictures of the monkeys. Those little guys can be fast. While in Tanzania, we over nighted at an airfield near Mount Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania. Tanzania is one of the nations in Africa that is doing fairly well. The roads are good, and the infastructure is good shape. Dar es Salaam,the capitol city (Meaning the place of Heaven in Arabic) is a modern place with a thriving economy. The Tanzanians are about 30% muslim and speak a mixture of english, and swahili. Despite the tribal history of this nation, Tanzania has for the most part put her tribal past behind and managed to forge a progressive modern nation. Also, there is no apparent tension between the muslim population and the other religous groups.
Pictures coming soon....

WooHoo!!!!! An update and photos. We have hit the jackpot today. The water looks beautiful. Makes me want to take a swim.
What was the castle looking building?
I'm glad they are keeping you busy. It makes your day fly by. The photos you have been taking are absolutely georgeous. Africa looks like a beautiful place. But I'm disappointed that you weren't able to get any photos of the monkeys:(
When you get home I think your sweetie should make a memory book out of your photos. They are awesome.
Looking forward to your next blog.
Peace,
