Moshi is the Jam!

Three minutes to type before I run out of Internet time...

Our decision to stay a while in Moshi appears to be quite sound. The town is very cute, less touts running around calling me 'Rasta' (though still quite a few).

Our hotel room (at the Kindoroko) stares out over Kilimingaro and the lush green of the valley and surrounding farmland outside the city. The hotel also has a roof top bar where everything is much cheaper than in Arusha.

One of the hotel reception people's sister helped Alicia get fabric and find a tailor today to help get a traditional dress and top made. She is so excited and I'm sure will post more about it soon.

OK, I'm out of time. More soon.

I will join in the crowd clamoring for pictures! I'm glad you are enjoying Moshi. You two have sounded less stressed in your recent posts. Nice. What is a traditional Tanzanian dress like?

Unrelated, since you guys are good at these things: suggestions for puppy names? Mr. Golden Retriever codenamed "Poopypants" arrives in three weeks. Are you guys learning any new words that mean neat stuff like "loyalty" or "friendship" or "cool dog"? Hee.
