ENTERING 2010 IN THE MOUNTAINS

We went to the mountains to spend our New Year holiday with dad's aunt Mama Mahimbo who lives in a village called Mbaga. It was a long but exciting drive to get there. First we drove to Same district in the Kilimanjaro Region. Then we drove to a small town called Kisiwani and from there we drove up, up, up the mountain on a small, windy road until we reached Mama Mahimbo's house. We were there for almost a week and it was very relaxing. We went for walks, bike rides, played, rested, talked and had nice food.
Here is the view from Mbaga.
Here I am standing in front of Mama Mahimbo's house with Mama Mahimbo, Charlotte, my friend Fahad and his mom Helena, who is dad's cousin. They joined us for the holiday and Fahad and I had great fun together!

Here is Mama Mahimbo with Charlotte. The weather in Mbaga is much cooler than in Dar es Salaam so as you can see, Charlotte even had to wear a hat!

Mama Mahimbo grew up in Mbaga village so she has many family members there. Here we are with Mama Mahimbo's sisters.

Daddy and Charlotte.

One day, dad, mom, Junior and I went fishing in the river which was really fun! We caught catfish and a crab.

Here I am by the river with Junior.There were many sheep in the mountains and here I am with a cute little lamb.

One day we went with Mama Mahimbo to the market to buy fruit and vegetables.
