RELAXING

Seth and I just returned this afternoon from a long weekend holiday, visiting our favorite beach in Tanzania- KIGOMA. We went there with our dear friends, Simon and Lizzie, and their two beautiful kiddos, Zach and Gracie. We had two purposes... to shoot a film on the rocky cliffs of the lake and to simply relax. Both goals were accomplished! And you can see from these pix that these are some GREAT people to spend time with. Zach, for the most part, loved the water (especially playing on the "lie-lo"... floatie) and exploring. Grace is the biggest sweetheart... beautiful expressions, heart-melting giggles, and quite the personality! Simon and Lizzie are pretty cool too... :)

Although I love swimming and the unique beauty of the rocks and the red sand beaches there, I have to admit that this time (aside from hanging with the kids) my favorite aspect was the old leather couches. Probably due to prior exhaustion and a bit of a stomach issue due to something I ate. But I spent literally HOURS on them relaxing, reading, and napping. Something we just don't find too often here in Buj is a comfy couch and as work and life have been a bit hectic, this weekend was a beautiful respite. Many thanks to Simon, Lizzie, Zach and Grace!
