On Sunday we took a trip to Bongoyo, a small island near Dar es Salaam. The island is part of the Dar es Salaam Marine Reserve. There are no people living on the island.
We took a small boat from the mainland to the island. It was low tide when we took off so we had to wade out quite a ways to get on the boat.
Mama took the first boat so she was on the island waiting for us.
Some of our students taught one of the Tanzanian students how to swim.
Our food was hot off the grill!
This is what mommy and daddy had for lunch!
We played a fun informal game of volleyball with people from 6 different countries!
We had lots of fun looking at all the hermit crabs. It looked like the ground was moving, there were so many!
As we were walking along the beach, we saw this giant jellyfish! (Editors note: Jon has big feet, so this gives you an idea of how big the jellyfish was!)

Hi Grandma! No, I did not take any of the pictures. The water was so beautiful but it’s really cold.(From Rachel – the crab was delicious but the girls didn’t even try it!)
