Our Vacation

We went on vacation Sunday the 9th and stayed in Iringa.  Sunday, we went to the mini-zoo and did some shopping.  The mini-zoo is called Mkwawa Magic Site (see post "mini zoo".) 
We had a very good lunch.
The next morning we went to a camp just outside of Iringa called Masumbo.   I was really excited to see that in the cabin in which we were staying I would sleep in the loft.
We played on the zip-line that crosses the river, went swimming, ate mulberries, climbed rocks, hiked and had a just-plain-fun time.
 In the evening I met Seth.  He is twelve years old, same as me.  We have a lot in common.  He is even an American.  His parents manage the camp.  We chased monkeys that were trying to eat the mulberries.
The next day, Tuesday, I spent almost the entire day playing in the river with Seth and his Tanzanian friend, Calvin.  We played on inner-tubes and had a great time.  After lunch we floated down the river a ways and then we talked a lot.
We were told that there was a resident hippo, but we never saw it.
I am glad I made a new friend.
