Monday we spent our last morning on the beach before flying back to Moshi. We didn't get back until late Monday night and Tuesday we needed to run some errands so we just laid low. We ended up back at mama Elitha's for a bit ~
Dana and Elizabeth ~ Upendo kindergarten school in background where Elizabeth is a "teacher" ~

Jennifer acting cool ~ Frankie in the back ~
Using her wikki sticks ~
The big reveal ~ they presented us with the clothes they made for us ~ wow ~ Reh is a great seamstress ~ we couldn't believe what they came up with after taking just a few measurements ~
Wednesday Father Barnabus wanted to meet for lunch.
First drinks at our hotel ~ Bristol Cottages ~
Then lunch at Kilimanjaro Crane Hotel ~
We haven't seen him in almost four years so it was great to catch up.
After lunch he wanted to see Falstini, his nephew, at Upendo so we all drove up there and played with the kids for a while.
Falstini and Father ~
Old friends ~ the head Sister at Upendo ~
Thursday, February 6
Unfortunately our hotel was booked for the rest of the week so we had to move again ~ we are really going to miss our friends at Bristol. We've been here long enough to have it feel like our oasis ~ when it is so hot in town we walk into the shaded garden and it feels so much cooler and then there are the smiles from these guys waiting to help us out with everything ~ it was a great place to stay ~
Jeffrey, Juma, Abdallah ~
One night we skyped Carl, Sandy and kids and these guys talked to the kids as well ~ they couldn't believe it was morning in DC while it was night in Moshi ~
We moved right around the corner to the Parkview Hotel.
Our rooms at the top of the stairs ~
Fortunately we were able to take care of that early because Father Barnabus had arranged a full day for us.
