Summary of recent trip too Tanzania

Following are some summary photos and highlights from a recent trip to Tanzania. My daughter, Elizabeth, was able to join me on the trip, and our dear friend, Musa Njagamba was with us through all our travels which began with one night in Moshi and to us to Mwanza. Following are a few photos and words regarding our journey:

• From Katesh we traveled to Musa's hometown of Singida and about four nights. We had an opportunity to deliver money to the contractor who is building Musa's home; visit Musa's family every night; spend a day with his daughters as we drove to the village of Mesembo to visit his father and extended family.
