Happy Friday!

2:56 AM | Posted by | | Edit Post
Yesterday was Siku ya Mapinduzi- Revolution Day- the biggest non-religious holiday here. No work and celebrations complete with "fireworks" (we will call them fireworks) started at 12 am and I joined the neighbors screaming and celebrating in the street. In the morning we headed to the beach for some family fun. Check out who was in front of us at the gas station....

After a quick stop off at the refuge for red colobus monkeys to negotiate a fair price for an upcoming field trip with Skuli ya Imani kids we swam, ate, chilled, hunted for shells, and relaxed. We headed back when it started to rain and then spent the afternoon visiting with neighbors and hanging out. Good day.
