Wednesday and Thursday afternoons were packed full of bonding time with our beloved girls at the orphanage and on Wednesday evening Tom and I actually bopped over to Popetlal Secondary School to check out what we heard was a pretty vibrant Ultimate Frisbee culture here in Tanga and we weren't disappointed Such http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tanzania/East/Tanga/blog-417446.html What a day Yesterday was a full day of festivities for Tanga's Rotary Club. First was the opening of a new footbridge for a school whose students were crossing a 50foot ravine on a bridge made of wood and rope...incredible...then to the opening of the two new classrooms and a teachers' workroom at Majenga School which was unbelievably powerful. The building is BEAUTIFUL I can't wait to http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Tanzania/East/Tanga/blog-415403.html Finally Another blog post. We've had some Internet problems...Tuesday night we didn't have a chance to update and last night there was a brownout in the city so our region of Tanga had no power.

Well we're finishing off the last days in Africa. Currently we're in Tanga a few hours north of Dar Es Salaam on the East Coast of Tanzania....and there is nothing to do here.
