Where in the World are Dave and Elizabeth?

 We are on our way to Maputo.  You probably know that Mozambique has just had a traged y. I am praying for the people there.   Over 100 people have died after a ferry sank.  Too many people had crowded onto the boat after hearing a rumor about a Cholera outbreak in their community.  Mozambique is indeed fighting cholera, and we have been warned to be careful about what we eat or drink there.  Even so, it seems that this rumor caused unnecessary panic. The ferry was hit by a tidal wave,  My friend sent me pictures of some of the beautiful doors in Zanzibar. Here are a couple: Love to all! 

The visas for Zanzibar are expensive for Americans, so we decided to stay on board.  Though it was predicted to be brutally hot, it ended up being rainy and somewhat cooler instead.  I have plenty to do to keep me busy, but I did feel wistful that we were not going ashore today.  Watching the Tanzanian Boys Circus perform on board was a consolation.   Did you know that Freddie Mercury was born and raised in Zanzibar? A lot of people who went ashore went to see his house.  A local museum has scraps of paper upon which he scribbled his lyrics.  Another famous person who lived here, albeit temporarily, was Dr. David Livingstone. The famous missionary believed that if he could discover the source of the Nile, people would pay attention to his quest to end the slave trade.  tutaonana baadaye! (See you later in Swahili)
