Views from Chapel Hill




Although a steep climb, the views made it worth our effort. Hope to get a few sunrise pictures in
The next days.

This picture gives you an idea of the lush surroundings along the way.

Arranging our work tasks


Saturday was a day of relaxation – While Roger met with the executive of the Rotary Club of Moshi Kilema and Kati – the rest of us occupied ourselves by exploring our surroundings.

Our first day in Kilema



Hey, everyone we’re here in KILEMA!! We arrived in Kilimanjaro airport around 1:30 in the morning.



Kim Wray was very generous with her shillings to the baggage helpers! We proceeded to Moshi driving on the left hand side of the road. When there the restaurant was closed, but a very keen waitress jumped at the opportunity to get Kilimanjaro beer for Roger. Today, we headed to Kilema, everyone walks men, women, children and the odd cow. The one hour trip up to Kilema, was very lush with banana plants, sunflowers and many vendors on the side of the road. Approaching KILEMA, THE LITTLE BUS THAT COULD, maneuvered its way around dust, potholes and people. We’re here ready to work and enjoying the sights, smells and our company. Hello to everyone at home

Kelly has been very busy reading her Manual of Instruction as Manager of the Furrow projects. There will be more on this later in the week.
