early b-day party for Juma

The great slumber party of 2013

Juma and his 5th and 6th grade classmates were all invited to sleep at their friends Isa and Rose's house as a grand goodbye, since Isa, Rose, and several others are moving away from Tanzania.

In the boys-only photo, there are from left-to-right, Gustav (moving), Baraka, Shafraz, (Ruhi is invisible behind Juma), Juma, Jacob, and Christian in the front.

In the girls-only photo, left-to-right: Marta (moving), Rose (moving), Eleni, Sarah, Isa (moving), Tianna, Tibi, and Naiwa.

Next, we boarded a cruise ship

Rome, part 1

Our Great European Vacation began in Rome. We had just enough time to see the Colosseum and the Forum. Amazing!
