"Hurry up with your shoes!" -Carrie |
From this view near the entrance gate, our house is on the left, the palapa straight ahead, the pool beyond. |
We carry the little guys out of our gate. |
And walk a short distance along this busy road, just to the corner. |
From here, it is a calm, unpopulated stroll to the beach! |
About 5 minutes and we'll be there! |
Except we keep stopping for pictures today! |
A lot of pretty flowers dot our path! |
"Mom got ahead again!!" -Carrie |
We pass this field, people use this to walk instead of the busy road |
Happy girl!! |
We turn and walk a short distance towards the ocean |
The only eyesore: a river meets the ocean here and trash collects |
We are able to hop on rocks to avoid it |
And then the water! |
Dar es Salaam is such a crazy, busy, dusty, developing-world city. It is shocking to discover a true tropical paradise merely yards away! |
Jackie LOVES the beach! |
Finally, a greyhound who swims! |
And tries to shake off a bit too early.... |
Cooled off, now to romp!! |
I think Africa suits him. |
Carrie too. |
Abigail running with the girls. |
Robert is the only one who doesn't get to go off leash. |
We do "encourage" him to swim though... |
AIRBORNE!! |
They were running so fast, most of my pictures are out of focus, even with the high speed camera! |
Back at home now, under the palapa. Getting ready to de-sand... |
Wheee!! |
Um, yeah, you're going to have to get clean AGAIN. |
This one is NOT in love with the water! |
He will take any salvation! |
Shade! And dirt! |
Karl playing! It was a great day! |
