  1. Daim,

    You are most welcome here in Nairobi. We are waiting for you!! Sorry, I am unable to get any Tanzanian contacts as they all seem so lazy in forwarding them! Will keep trying.

  3. At a state park in Tanzania… beautiful place! I will try to put up some pictures of the trip. We visited a Maasai village today. Amazing place. If people live off a dollar a day, it is because they have everything the need in the land. I saw tree such as papaya, banana, passion fruit, avocado, lime, pomegrante, edible plants and herbs. Of course there were plenty of cattle being herded. More later!
