What a small, small world it is! Imagine Chris' surprise when he drove past our friends, Hassan and Karen, on the dusty, dirt road from Sumbawanga one Saturday afternoon. Karen and Hassan had been on safari to the Katavi National Park and were on their way back to Arusha. Katavi is a four hour trip by vehicle from Kipili and is a very remote, untouched National Park, well worth a visit (or two). If Chris had been half an hour earlier or later on his trip back to the Island, he would have missed them.

Hassan's chef, Kasi (which means "work" in Swahili), was with them. He taught us how to cook pizzas in a metal suitcase with hot coals on the lid and around the sides. Thank you for leaving your metal suitcase for us so that we can cook our own pizzas. We will think of you when we use it to cook our turkey on Christmas day. Now that you know where we are we hope to see you again. KARIBU SANA (which means "you are very welcome" in Swahili).
