Thanks for the photos and the updates, guys. Its like playing “where in the world is Carmen Santiago”, except way more fun! We are particularly impressed by the size of the tree in the “Giant baobab” picture. How old are those things? A tree that wide around here would be maybe 300 to 500 years old. We had the same question about Mzee the turtle, or is it a tortoise; how long does it take for one to get that large? So many questions, so little time. We are so grateful for the opportunity to follow your journey in a virtual sort of way. Good luck in your travels.

Just back from 2 nights at the beautiful sunny Oregon Coast and now I move intoTakaungu village and environs! Feel a little familiar with the setting, thanks to your video of the project there, Tom. By now, Claire, you must be exchanging a few words of Swahili with your classmates! And white break and peanut butter sounds yummy to me, but I’m a peanutbutterholic. Glad you’ve all arrived at the new destination and I’m sending love from this end. Cookie Oh yes, I’m glad you finally did get to see bushbabbies, Tom. xxoo

Hi Lyanda, Tom & Claire,
Just a note to let you know I’ve been following your journey. It sounds like great fun, especially the Colobus Trust. Seems that you’ve figured out the best way to travel.
Love Andrew
