We got back from our trip to Mikumi and a couple of days later we took off to Zanzibar. Now, if you have been reading my blog you know that I have been there a number of times. It is a regular destination for those of us around Dar. It's so easy to get to and it's absolutely beautiful...a place you just can't resist. It was a trip full of time to do nothing and that's what we did. We laid on the beach, we walked and explored a little, we swam in the clear blue Indian Ocean, we ate, we relaxed. It was time that we needed, especially after we sat in the Dar airport for 4.5 lovely hours because our flight was delayed. Besides all the guys wanting to hang out with us, it was uneventful. Don't worry Dad, we had guards at the hotels who kept them away.
I don't think he was a guard at our hotel, he may very well be one of the guys that hung around wanting to talk to us, but this would be what our guards looked like...they are part of the Maasai tribe, these people live in northern Tanzania but travel around for jobs like being guards.
the roomies...me, whit, and katelyn...for those of you who don't know katelyn has been staying with us for her summer break, she has been helping us with some plans for the coming semester; it has been a blessing for us to have her around, unfortunately she has to go back to school soon and so she will be leaving in a few days, unless of course her passport mysteriously goes missing

Hey Marissa:
I was on Amy Ulrickson's blog and saw your name. And I remembered to check out your blog! I'm so excited to read up on your adventures. A lion?!? Whoa! (Plus I'm glad you have a guard who is Masai...they're pretty cool).
Life is busy in Houston. Check out my blogs, if you like (yes, I'm new to blogging):
