We are in Tanzania!

So what a trip so far!!! Lots of fun and "Learning Experinces" We are safe, happy and healthy so no need to worry anybody! Jet Lag to the extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A fun story...

In the airport in Frankfort were playing with the haky sack and 3 young guys ask if they can hack with us. We find out that they were teenagers from Russia who went to Maryland to work at WaWa for the summer! How cool is that. Diane told them that she enjoyed their sandwiches and they laughed because that is what they did all summer!
SO we were hacking and i kick the hackysack threw a hole in rafters (smooth move). The three teens and i look longingly up into the air sad that the airpoprt gods had taken our toy. The young Russian teens decide to stand on each others shoulders to see into the rafters to see if they can get it back. We help balance one up on the others shoulders and they cannot find it. The tallest of the three teens suggested i stand on his shoulder because we would be the tallest combination of strapping young lads! So i get up on his shoulders and got our toy back!!!! Yeah team work!

I am thinking if u were in the US you would be taken to sercurity. It is a good thing you are in a foren contry with less serict airport rules. And remember the most important pease of world traveler equipment (acording to Lt. Dan) socks.
