Leaving on a Jet Plane

I love flying! I think it is so much fun. I always have. Part of it, I am sure, is due to the fact that my Dad is a pilot and I pretty much think he is the coolest ever! These past several weeks I have been a traveling maniac! I have been on the road so much. When I came back to the office today, everyone was hugging me and greeting me and so excited because it has been so long since I was last here. Last week, I spent most of the week in a village called Kondoa which is about a 5 - 7 hour drive from Arusha where I live on roads that are "slightly" bumpy. When you get out of the car, it takes hours for your body to stop vibrating. =) However, yesterday, I went there by using an airplane! I like that way MUCH better.

Just flying was fun but going into a village where everyone comes out to greet you makes it even more enjoyable. The runway looks like nothing more than a dirt path but it gets the job done. Yesterday, after going to see the school, we went to several homes of the children at the school. We had so much fun visiting the children and their families at their homes. While we were at the homes, the teacher explained to the family that we were the people that came on the plane yesterday. Hilarious! As we left today, we once again had a big crowd and after we took off, I saw that a whole school had come out to look at us up in the sky. What a blast! They were so thrilled to see us and just giggled and squealed with delight!
