Onward to Magome

Today we are going to make a quick stop at the large market in Iringa to buy some school supplies, soccer balls, and other fun things for the kids. Thank you to everyone who donated money for those things.

After a the market, we will begin our journey to Magome. It is not that far away, but the trip will take about three hours since the roads are not in good condition - no main truck thoroughfare on this leg of the trip.

Above is a picture of J.R. getting on our bus. Must be time for me to go - I don't want to miss the trip.

No posts for the next couple of days - no internet (or electricity) in Magome.

Hello Travelers and Good Will Ambassadors!!
Let me be the first to comment. Sooooo glad to hear you all arrived in Dar and then Iringa safely. On the pictures, you all look good -- can't see the tired bodies and stiff legs!!
We are enjoying the blog tremendously!! Both the pictures and the narrative are wonderful.
Do hope your visit to Magome is special, meaningful and fun.
All is well on the home front. It was very hot yesterday -- in the
90's. A big storm came through last night and cleared the air. It is lovely today --Saturday.
Keeping you all in mind and in prayer. Can't wait to hear about your visit to Magome.
Love, Peg
