Moshi and Mountains
After a lengthy journey, we are finally here and well setttled into life at ISM.
Moshi has been interesting, challenging and memorable – with sights and sounds to interest us all. People, markets, colour, bargaining and transport of all kinds. Greetings as we walk the street after changing our money – calls to show us their ware.
Lots of different sights and sounds such as vegetable laden tables, sewing machines set up street front and meats on display in the market area.
Our waterfall walk today wandered first by bus through little villlages and the kids cried out “jambo” to greet those along the raodsides. Colourful dress, lots of people walking along, some with heavy loads, others in their Sunday best.
The waterfall sprayed a cool mist over us as we arrived, and pounded from a great height. Our guides lead the way there, with towering containers of water for our needs atop their heads. On the way back one climbed a tree after spying a tiny chameleon and brought it down to us.
So many different things to talk about from just a few days. All are fine and well and the group is cohesive and fun. There will be many more tales to tell in time!

Glad to hear you are all settled in at ISM and taking in your surrounds. What is made on the sewing machines?
Looking forward to the many photos showing all these experiences.
What is your service activity?
Hope all goes well with the activity.
Do enjoy the activities and sights of every day.

You’re up late !!!! Jetlag???. As a parent it is great to receive more information than my 16 year daughter is able to supply. Sounds awesome and inspiring and also “gorgeous” as Em described the waterfall and Mt Kilimanjaro. Look forward to more blogs. Hope you get to bed a little earlier.

Just forgot to adjust the time for TZ. Too work weary to be up that late!!
