John here. I don't want to say much, but I do want to share a number of photos with you. Hopefully, you will appreciate what I have come to understand in my short time in this part of the world: these are beautiful people over here.
I don't know how they do it, but they always seem to have smiles on their faces. Like all, they are a little wary at first. But all you have to do is say "Jambo" or hold out your hand, and they break into a smile.
Take a look at some of the people that we have met - young and old, mostly without many of the nice things of like, many not knowing where there next meal will come from. I am amazed and perplexed by this.
Say no more. I am doing this in the dark by headlamp. No power, and it is pouring rain outside. Lest I take too much time, I will post what I can. If the pics do not upload very quickly, I will add more tomorrow.
All the best,
John (and Sandy)
