Fun times in Moshi

 Kilimanjaro Marathon:  http://kilimanjaromarathon.com/

Having participated in several organized races in Canada I jumped at the opportunity to participate in the Kilimanjaro Marathon in Moshi on March 3, 2013.  Several of us from the Hostel participated in the event;  Tine, Shawn & Jerry completed the half marathon while the rest of us ran or walked the 5km.  It was a very big event and a lot of fun to be a part of it!

 



                                      

 

 

Making "Yummy" cookies at Hostel Hoff:

 

Our St. Patrick's Day celebrations included spending the afternoon lounging at the pool, making no bake oatmeal/coconut/chocolate cookies and for some, going out for beers!  We made the cookies from scratch which even meant using the machete to cut open the coconut for us to grate! 

 

    YUMMY!!!

 

YUMMY recipe:

- 2 cups white sugar (we used cane sugar)

- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
Mix in pot and bring to boil. Stir in:
- 3 cups oatmeal
- 1 cup grated coconut (we used fresh coconut)
- 6 tbsp cocoa
- a ton of LOVE
Drop onto wax paper, let cool, eat and enjoy!

 

Good times with friends:

 

The Party Dala Dala is the main event on several Friday evenings.  The Party Dala Dala is what we would refer to as a Pub Crawl in Canada.  Essentially we rent a minivan and a driver who takes us from pub to pub until all hours of the night.  It's a lot of fun even though some of us (myself) don't stay out until 5 am like most of the group :)
