We made it in one piece!

After nearly 30 hours of air travel, we made it to Kilimonjaro and did not lose any luggage (First group to not lose any luggage! God's blessing must be on this!) . We had a nice overnight at the KIA Lodge and then it was off to Mwanza this morning, arriving around 10:45 am (Sat, Jun 20).

Paula gave us the tour of the Patricia Ward, the Bogumil Birthing Center (Or BBC - as it is called here). We saw other sites and Denny went over the future plans diagram with the group. We met Lucy and were served with some very fine food. Both meals today, the group left completely empty pots.

Met Celli (the sites' "right hand man") and already discussed "how to" on some of the work to be done. Our main job will be to hang the suspended ceiling and build some additional interior walls in the BBC.

I have been unable to sleep for 2 days. (Time changes, jet lag, trip on my mind). Tonight I crashed before dinner in the guest house and fell off my feet to slumber in spite of the blairing music from the band next door.

Good night from Paula's Office.

Asante,
Dave B.
