second update from Muheza

first day of school was on Tuesday, just after we got new bikes. Freaky, tons of kids following you everywhere. Got a turn signal for my bike which already broke. We have had to take the bikes into get repaired a few times already ! Lots of geckos and big bugs in the house ! The geckos ar fine, but the bugs are nervewracking. one gecko fell off the roof and landed on Griffin's arm and the tail fell off and then ants ate the tail. Lots of ants, bit weird looking bugs and birds.
My mom and dad saw a pied crow and thought it was rare but we saw hundreds after ! My dad wanted to see a certain bird from the bird book but at school I had to do something that involved that bird an it said that a birdwatcher would rarely see it. It is called the "showbill" so we will be lucky if we see it. We are going to a Amani wildlife reserve where we will see lots of birds and camelians. Next weekend we are going to Peponi and when the tide is out, sand islands are created and a boat takes you out to one and you have lunch there and snorkel and then the boat takes you back before the tide comes in!
Thats all I can think of right now. I will try to post more often but it is hard to get internet access. Thanks, Sy

update

Recently I walked to my school. Not to go to school just to see the school and find the route to the school because we are riding to school and we don’t want to go on the main road. It was such a brutal walk. We finished two water bottles on the way there and we only had three with us. When we got there Griffin was looking at the text message from the person who was going to show us around ( teacher Mary). He saw that the teacher was only available at 130 in the afternoon and it was only 1145. I was so mad. It was because my mom only looked at half of the text (texting newby). During the walk back we saw a mini tornado. When we were about half way back, my heel started hurting and I started getting cramps and a headache for the rest of the walk back. It was torture. The next day I got my zipper fixed on my school uniform ( ugly)A picture will be posted as soon as is possible.
The next day ( Friday,September19)I got a bit sick so instead of going to Tanga (the closest big city with shopping and beaches) I stayed home with my dad and read and relaxed. Even with all the brutal walks I am still having fun.
