pemba

Wow, it took me only 30 minutes to get to the site. Sheesh.

Well, we arrived safely in Pemba on Friday afternoon, after traveling by 4 planes (including one that only fit 5 passengers) and for 45 hours. We're still recovering from the jet lag (Juma thinks one AM to 5 AM is day time).

The best part about being back is seeing our old friends. They had all but given up hope of seeing us again, since we are a year late, so were extra pleased to see we returned to their obscure corner of the earth.

It's the "cool" season now, so we are sweating profusely and shower twice a day to deal with the heat. We moved into our same old house as in 2006, and rehired our old cook, The Woman Who Talks 10 Miles a Minute. It's good Swahili-listening practice, that's for sure.

I best be off. Later (as soon as the electricity and the internet connection work out for us.)

I am so glad that you made it alright. Crazy long flight! I cannot even believe it. Hope that the day has become day and that the night has become night for ALL of you. :)

Love you!
