Tanzanian Trip: There and Back Again, Chapter 2

Dad made pancakes on Monday morning so we could use some of the maple syrup that was sent from friends and family back home.  

Bobby and Andrew were going out to the village on Monday and Sarah and Andrew had decided that they were going to take Bob, the chicken, to a friend of theirs in the village as a gift.  Bobby helped Andrew make a "chicken catcher", and we went outside to watch Andrew use it to catch Bob.  It worked really fast! Andrew grabbed the chicken on the first swipe.  Sarah was explaining to Reed where Bob was going, and that it was time to say "bye" to him. 

Reed's taking all this like a champ, and I'm over there blubbering because I'm saying "bye" to a chicken that I've known for 48 hours.  

Andrew and Bobby took my dad over to the Meeks' house on their way out to the village because he was going to stay with them Monday and Tuesday night.  

Sarah, Reed, Candice, GQ, and I got in a "Bujaj" (3-wheeled vehicle that works like a taxi) and ran a couple of errands. While we were out we got a very unusual (for August) downpour of rain.  We got home and started doing some food prep while sitting on the back porch.   It was a quiet, relaxing night. 

Candice and GQ at the market.  Is that hat (and facial expression) amazing or what???

Tuesday morning we had some yogurt and granola for breakfast and preceded to the back porch for some food prep.  We drank tea and ate some lunch then went down to the beach for a little bit that afternoon.  We made it back in time to get dinner ready before Bobby and Andrew made it back in town from the village.
