Goats, Chickens, Dogs etc...

While my dad was in Kenya he called and told me some good news that my goat was going to have a baby.  Few days later good news came "A kid was born".  Now i have 3 :-)  plus the number of our chickens is increasing we now have about 30 chickens or more. Next, i will add sheep.

Africa and Family 1 (East Africa)

My mom and I are now back in Vietnam after our short visit to America. It was nice to see my family, friends and my dog Bomvu.  While in America my dad was visiting our house in Kenya.  While my dad was in Africa i started to think how I LOVE AFRICA and ASIA!  These are some of the pictures we took last year while visiting our house in Kenya with family. My Aunt could not make it but i decided to add her pictures.

Africa and Family (West Africa)

We visited Chantal in Burkina Faso. Chantal was working in the Peace Corps at first in Tangaye which is a small village in the northern part then in Koupela.  When we visited Tangaye with her the village and the clinic where she worked had a party for us.


The ladies danced for us - Mom is dancing on the left


Chantal introduced us to her friends - this is one of her friends in Tangaye. She was fun

We also went for a visit to a beautiful green garden outside of Koupela


Back in Ouagadougou which we stayed in a cool guest house which also had nice gardens




Africa and Family (Southern Africa)

We visited Mara who is in the Peace Corps in Zambia. We drove from the capital Lusaka all the way up to Lake Tanganyika and then took a boat to a beautiful lodge on the side of the lake.  From our lodge i could look at Tanzania and the Congo. Here's mom, Mara and I on the boat on the way to the lodge.

This was the beach in front of our bungalow on the lake shore with palm trees!

Mara and I really enjoyed the beach and swimming in the lake.


Mara and I giving dad a cuddle on the beach.



We also had a lot of fun in the water and kayaking.


I also made friends with the kids who lived near the resort.







Next we visited the city of Kasama and then we drove to Chanda Mukulu which was the village where Mara was working in Northern Province.  Here we are walking to Mara's house with her suitcases.

This was her house

 It doesn't look like much on the outside but was nice and cozy inside.


This was her bathroom which daddy tried out.
