We have received a very warm welcome to Tanzania and we are extremely grateful for the time that we've been given to focus on our family settling in to our new life in Tanzania. An unexpected camping trip in a most spectacular spot we would never have found on our own was a real treat. International school and language school starts next week...

Okay, so our blog got stuck on our departure for Tanzania... Sorry about that! It was a very long journey but we safely arrived in Iringa 3 days after we left and we've had time to settle into our new home over the past 2 weeks now.

We have received a very warm welcome here in Tanzania, thanks to our awesome EI Tanzania team! We're making new friends, learning how things work here, finding our way around town, getting used to driving on the opposite side of the road again, and struggling to get by with a few words of Swahili. But we're grateful to have this time to settle in and focus on our family, helping our girls feel at home before they start school at the international school in town.

We have been posting photos on our VanWoerdens in Tanzania facebook page. We're trying to do a photo a day to capture our life here in Iringa (again, sorry if you've been checking our blog for updates -- we will be posting here more regularly once we figure out our internet - and life ;)
