WOW Where Has the Time Gone!

So tonight we're back in Nairobi almost two weeks to the day since we left home. It's been so busy that we can hardly believe it's time to head home. Everything has gone super smoothly and I accomplished far more than I expected. Our week in Moz was jam packed right up to takeoff time. Yesterday I helped Joe (the pilot) install a VHF radio base station at his home. I went with him to pick up test results on the well water in Mieze, then made it back to the base to meet Peter who is operating a farm and orphanage 800km west of Pemba. He has water and electricity needs similar to Mieze so it was good to talk with him about that.

Adriano and I
For supper I met with Adriano my little friend from my last visit to Pemba. He's one of the kids from the nearby village. Jon and I took him and his younger cousin to the Chicken Shack where the boys enjoyed the fried chicken, bones and all.

I spent some time last evening going over the Mieze water test trying to understand it. I think I will take it to an expert when I get home. We know there is a problem with the water but not how serious it is or if it can be fixed.

There is sure no shortage of new projects to pick from, every one of them worthwhile. My problem now is going to be in picking one or two to work on over the next few months.
