Barbeque - with old friends

As there is so little to do here in Dodoma, often people like to go out into the bush, build a fire and cook some meat. That's the unglorified version of it - but it can be quite a bit of fun, if you find somewhere quiet to cook your food, where there are no cows, no bicycles, and no noise. We went to one of these places.


It really is a 'guys thing', but you know, sometimes it can be fun for us girls too. This was one of those times. We had good company, good meat (no burnt sausages) fun places for the children (and men) to climb, and lots of lovely salads.


We took the opportunity to go out with some old friends who used to live here in Dodoma with us, when they returned to visit.


The little ones went up the rocks with their daddies and waved down at the the mummies. Fun for them.

Our home made barbeque- with stand, made by Glenn!

The boys are sitting on the buffet table - a very useful asset to any barbeque. This one remains here after we leave.

This was a fire that was made for the children so that they could burn their little sticks and we were very fortunate this time - there were marshmallows to roast over it!
The boys (and girl) all loved this. They really had a great time - all the kids travelled in one car (what a racket they made! - all 6 of them) Joshua, Benjamin with their 2 friends Luka (Swiss German) and Timo (German); Esther played with Noel (Luka's little brother).
