Termite mound

The rain opened up a bunch of termite mounds on the road. The intrepid explorers stopped to check them out.

We now have 2 puppies

Note to self

Just use the flippin' cutting board next time, mmkay?

Saturday morning hike

One great bonus of having a dog is that I get a ton more exercise. I've walked at least 5 kilometers every morning. Usually, that's walking Juma to school. Since there's no school today, we decided to take a family hike up to Whispering Rock, said to have been used by Chief Mkwawa over a hundred years ago to get spiritual insight in his war against the German invaders.

The view is spectacular.
