... now on as raining season starting. Is about time as much needed the road down to the town is soo dusty that my feet are permanately brown but not from the sun. Power outages happen on a daily basis as well so have to get a shower in always asap as I already had a lucky escape when I was just about to shampoo my hair when the power went off (which also turns off the water). One of the others not soo lucky so she had a funny hairdo the next day. Some ...

... thing happened. Heini lit into the group starting off by saying that the trip had been awful for everyone and that he had never had a more negative group and that four people in particular had caused everyone to have a horrible time. (He was ****** because before we had left for the Serengeti Gabe, Lola and Toni had questioned him on some of the expenses and he had said he&#8217;d have an answer when we got back.) When he named four ...

... van de dieren. Ook waar we keer op keer onder de indruk van zijn scherpe blik, op 100 meter afstand zach hij al of er een luipaard in de boom lag te slapen. Soms stonden wij als een paar mutsen te turen door verrekijker en camera met zoom en dan zagen we nog niets...<br><br>Hussein asante sa en Kwa heri

... and then for the next three days we will head to a couple of the original nat\l parks of tanzania. Elephants, zebras, wildebeast, water buffalo and a ton of gazelles are just a few of the animals we hope to see there. I am pretty pumped that this is the first of my animal behavior class! Honestly, school should be like this all the time, it makes so much more sense. My homework is done outside, is always handwritten and is ...

Both Witness and Upendo love to sing, Witness is unsure of what she wants to be because she says she has not learned about enough jobs to decide, and Upendo wants to be a lawmaker. I then showed Witness the bracelet she had made me which I have yet to take off and her eyes just beamed and she was so happy that I kept it. After talking to the girls and ...

... is hilarious I met up with family in Africa. I stuffed my face, got a little drunk, and had a nice walk home getting verbally harassed as usual.<br><br>This week is my last week of teaching. I'm paired with Meghan and we're at Arusha Secondary School. Sarah and Gurtman get here on Sunday and then it's vacation time for me! Safaris and Zanzibar...yessss. Today was a short day because it was basically introduction, so we were done around noon and I ...

We went back the same way u[p the awful embankment and once we got to Rogers his mom made us this awesome lunch then we proceeded back down. Great day but super challenging in my point of view.<br>

... you see this massive dormant volcano which just cuts through the clouds sitting at 16,500 ft in the air. As we walked through the street, we passed the High court of Arusha and the Arusha Gym (Gymkhana) club. This street was one of the only paved streets in the area. Like most places in Arusha, the vegetation and growth was beautiful and nothing like we see in Canada. The paving ended into a dirt road. We continued up the dirt road passing by two ...

... a Muzungu (American) place with DELICIOUS food. I was so extremely happy with my meal - Caesar salad (nobody knows how happy I was to have a salad), steak and vegetables, and a couple glasses of wine. I felt like I was at Paces..almost. Steve, we are going there the night I get home and I will eat 3 porterhouses. We had planned on staying out and getting some drinks with other volunteers, but we were running low on money and were all ...
