Lushoto, TZ

A few weeks ago we decided we needed to escape the heat, so we spent a weekend in Lushoto, TZ. (Lushoto is on the way to Kilimanjaro) It was much cooler there, less humid, and a much needed break from the city. Enjoy the pics......



The mountains are so much bigger in person. Pictures just dont do them justice!





Watch out for monkeys!

View from our hotel


Same view, different angle



Yikes! That's a big drop!




Brandon & Madison





Heading up to Irente View Cliff
Ok, this next pic may freak out the grandmothers a bit. Over the edge is a 1500ft drop.........











Happy family :-)








A home near the hotel














Small church in Lushoto




This grasshopper was about 3 inches long. No, we did not eat him!



We went on a 20 minute hike to get to this waterfall.




When I took this pic, I didn't realize Brandon was giving Madison bunny ears!




Strike a pose!




Brandon, at the hotel



Picnic on the cliff




Mom! Stop taking pictures!




Again, pictures don't do it justice.....










Can you see the little town below?



Brandon, on the balcony



Veiw from our balcony. Isn't God amazing? We sat for maybe 2 hours just watching the scenery change with the passing rain.


The end of another beautiful day in Africa





The next morning, we found this huge moth on the steps.
