Although our trip to Lake Victoria and Mwanza hasn't finished yet, it's already been a real adventure. The airline forgot to tell us they were canceling our flight, so we made a big deal to get out to the airport with all our luggage only to end up returning home to watch movies. We made the flight into Mwanza the next morning. Daddy was all dressed in his work clothes, but I ended up puking all over him. Twice. Hehe.
We went to Mwanza to keep Daddy company while he was working in the region. FINCA has several branches around Lake Victoria. We are visiting Shinyanga, Tarime, Musoma, Kahama and Geita. The Musoma branch is in the province of Tanzania called Mara. Mom is excited to go there!
I spend most of my time in my car seat or in the hotel room with Mommy because it is raining too hard to go out sightseeing. Wherever I go, EVERYONE wants to hold me! I don't mind it. At the FINCA offices I get to meet all the staff and even some villagebanking clients. The FINCA clients always want to hold me and pass me around. I flirt and smile and love the attention. Everyone says I look like Daddy. When Mom has to eat, even the waitresses will come up and play with me so that she can finish her food. I'm lucky to be a baby in a place as baby-crazy as Tanzania!
