An anniversary celebrated in beachful serenity was very much enjoyed. We took a day trip out to Bongoyo Island, a small island just off the coast, where we sat in the soft white sand, ate fresh fish out of the ocean, snorkeled over the underwater beauty of God's creation, looked through clear blue water to the ocean bed and coral below (and a creepy shipwreck), and walked along some craggy trails, finding eels playing in the maze-like rocky water ways. It was a great day.


Swahili word for the day is kali, which means fierce, strict, sharp...
We used it to describe the sun often that day, and have the red backs to prove it.

Mad Cow

Look at me!! I'm one craaaaazy mad cow!
(This guy will be our neighbor in a couple weeks!)

Swahili word for the day is ng'ombe, which means cow.

Baaah.

How'd he get there? Seriously, the goats of the mountains are a scientific wonder. They have to be. I mean they have hooves. No inspector-gadget plunger hands to use for scaling the rock face.

Swahili word for the day is mbuzi, which means goat.

Refreshment On a Hot Day

Ahh the Poop Pop.

Here's what we can offer:
No explanation. No logical translation. No precedent. No idea.

We're speechless. No Swahili words today.
