It does exist!
I saw the mountain! It's beautiful. This morning was really clear and on the way to work we had the best view (Aunt Daisy-I think we are in the lush valley...but I will check!).
Today was my third day at Kilimahewa Nursery School. It's a man's house, with two small rooms, one for older and one for younger. The kids are awesome, but it's very tiring. They all want to hold your hand and be picked up, and they fight and hit over you (That's only during playtime, not during lessons). Usually we do adding, or drawing. There are chickens running a muck.
Today me and another volunteer went to a place called TunaHAKI. It is an orphanage in Moshi. The kids do acrobatics and have been invited to train in san francisco for a week in November, but they need the money so Natalie and I are fundraising for them.
This weekend we are going to kililodge, which is about 1/2 way up the mountain (we will be driving) and then on sunday we are doing a 5km walk for a local organization that is fundraising.
So far everything here has been pretty amazing. It's heartbreaking, but as soon as you feel completely overwhelmed, you see something wonderful, like children laughing, or the banana lady waving (she is SO cute).
I know I promised pictures but this was another unplanned trip to town...so again I don't have my cable to hook up my camera...but soon I promise! and they will be really good ones too.

Dear Maggie,
We are very excited for you. After reading about your program, we are feeling less anxious. And looking forward to reading your daily comments off your mom and dads computer. In as much, as we have none, but we are working purchasing a system.
We love you and miss you, but know you are having a lot of fun.
We can't wait for you to come home. We will be posting again. We just had dinner with your mom and dad and Billy. Bill has a great gig going. We are happy and exicited the both of your lives are going. Buy us a Monkey.
Love Grandma and Grandpa
The monkey commment came your dad.

Hi Mag,
Your days sound so exciting. What colorful people you are meeting!! Banana lady--I can only imagine. When Uncle Al and I had a 4 hour wait in Amersterdam, we saw people from all over the world. I'll never forget some of the colorful "ensembles" many of them were wearing.
I can't wait to hear more about your visit to "the" mountain in your backyard. PICTURES! PICTURES! We want pictures!!
Sending lots of love from all,
Aunt Daisy
Hi Mags!

Love,
Kelly and Vin
P.S. I hope you were joking about skydiving when you get home.
