Hey guys sorry I haven’t bloged lately I have no spare time.
I went to a fancy hotel and saw lots of wild monkeys.
One chased Griffin and me.
The hotel had a swimming pool griff and me did circus sulay in it.
Any way 1 gone 6 more to come I’m meaning 1 person left witch is Graham my oldest bother 6 to go means 6 more people to come and 2 people are here with us right now.
It was sad seeing Graham go. It felt like I didn’t get to do any thing with him. That’s how fast time goes. It felt like he was here 3 days but actually he was here 12 days.2 months have gone from are trip that means only 4 more months of Africa left.
Have any of you ever played the game settlers of catan? Well iv played it 14 times and only one 6,5 or 7 times (its a stradage game). Were so into it we got the 5 to 6 extension pack so we can play with other people.
“ Here comes blogger Tanzanian whether hottest point today 40 degrees yester day hot last week big rain storms but the Tanzania people say these are the short rains. This broadcast is brought subway sub way eat fresh.”

marbles
Today I played marble with Griff. We just got the marbles yesterday.
I just found out that rose is going to be teaching computers at my school. But she is going to be teaching the stuff that I already know how to do. )-:. But it is a time waster, less school.(-: In a month and a half I get two months off from school.(-: but I still will have to do homeschool)-:
I had 13 maRBLEs but my brother won 4 away from me. But I will just get new ones. 20 shillings per marble = about 2 cents. When I get back I will put together the best slideshow about our time here.sy

update
as we packed our bags and loaded up with 8 people in the care we
headed off to peponi ( a resort on the indian ocean). there is 2
people in the front of the land cruiser, 3 in the back seat and 3 in
the back section. we were all crowded in the car.when we passed tanga
( check a map) the road turns gravelly and rutted. we bounce around
for 30 whole kilometers but we do see wild monkeys. weturn into peponi
and everyone cheers. as soon as wegoth there we suit up and going
swimming. the water is like a hot tub. we find sweet shells the next
day when we walk up the beach.after the beach walk we start out to a
sand island that only forms when the tide goes out in a small local
sailing boat called the pepi.but before we leave we get flippers and
snorkels because we are stopping at a reef to go snorkeling. the boat
can hold up to 25 people.as we get close to the reef i get all geared
up. i am the third one in. i start of only seeing a blue and yellow
fish, then i come up because the flipper is jabbing into my foot.
after 5 minutes i go back in and see, blue , yellow , rainbow fish and
even black and white fish .it reminds me of Finding Nemo, by the way i
saw a DORY. this looks like the place where graffiti artists get their
colours.i also saw coral like a brain maze and is called Brain
Coral.one of the coolest things i saw was a fish that lives in
anenomes like nemo there were also sea urchins and alarge sea snake.we
climbed back into the boat and off we went to the sand island. was
also was laso like a hot tub there. the water sky blue. griffin and
i tried to do a lap around the isaland crawling with just our arms
in the water. then we had lunch .i had a BLM.peponi makes the
greatest BLM ( bacon , letuuce , mayonaise) sandwich.
after that we boared the boat and headed off to the camsite.After we
returned we ahd dinner. the next morning i went to the pool, then had
breakfast, monkeys were about to steal our toast . but never did and
that ends the peponi trip

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.
