Siafu
Here in Tanzania there's all kinds of wildlife to keep you on your toes. Today, meet Siafu - biting ants. They aren't as big as in Hollywood, but they certainly can bite! After rain, it's quite common to see trails of Siafu around the place. Paul has already had the misfortune to step in one of these trails, to find Siafu running up and down his legs and biting him all over within seconds (OUCH!)

Here are a few (slightly blurry) shots of the Siafu making their way across the garden.

Love Steve and Sue :)
why would you put something like this up just before we come to visit????
Those are no fun. Esther had them all over her little body on Wednesday, all because we stopped along the road to look at a poster of Rose Muhando. She walked right into the grass where there was a nest of them. She'll never forget that experience!
Thanks for coming with us this morning to the little church. We have decided to stay one extra day (recovery) before driving to Kigoma.
