Christmas in Moshi and Suji

Hello everyone! How was your christmas? Me and my parents had wonderful days in Moshi and Suji. Santa gave me lots of cool stuff and I am busy playing with it now. Up here you see me unwrapping gifts with my Baba.

On the 25th we climbed in our car and drove to Suji, which is in the Pare Mountains, 3 hours drive from Moshi. I did well on the trip, reading my books and sleeping and just occasionally asking for Mama and her milk. ; )
Look at those mountains! Here we are already way up and heading towards the clouds. The "road" was so bumpy, it just sent me off to sleep.
Now we arrived and I met some other kids to play with. Obviously we are all related and I felt like a real Mpare in my homeland. Waiting for my Bibi and Babu.

Where are they???

Later that evening we finally met them and went home to their house. It had been raining a lot and the way through the village was very muddy and we were just skating along in the car. I was asleep anyway, but my Mama got quite scared I was told.

Here you see me with my brother/cousin/??? hanging out in the livingroom. We had a blast playing and I shared all my uncles foods. The poor aunties only got a "NOOO!" though, every time they wanted to play with me or carry me. Only Bibi was allowed to talk to me and she even got a kiss!
Here she is with Baba and me on the morning of the 27th. We sadly have to leave again.

Bye mountains! Bye Bibi, bye Babu, bye everybody! Above you can see the road we used 2 days ago. Now a big piece is missing after all the rain. Scary!
Hope you enjoyed the pictures! See you in 2010!

Love,
Tamari
