Arrival

Hujambo!

Hello everyone, I made it safely and i'm now officially on the opposite side of the world. Long day of planes, two spent about 20 hours on planes all together. We got back to our hostel at about 3am, passed out, and had some tasty breakfast in a restaurant downstairs. I'm really loving the food so far, they have all kinds of juices and foods that you weren't normally see served in the US. We spent the morning wandering local markets. Everyone wants to sell you their stuff, so we pretty much get forced into their booths and bombarded with offers to give it to you for SO CHEAP. Fortunately, there's lots of cool stuff so i'll be bringing back lots of presents! We're all going to be at the hostel until Monday so we're checking out the city for the next few days. There are so many kids around! And a lot will just walk up and start shaking hands and putting your arms on their shoulders, it's so sweet. I can't wait to get started with our work and I hope to keep this updated somewhat regularly since the internet cafe is cheap and close to our hostel. I hope you're all having a wonderful time in the good ol' US of A and I can't wait to tell you all more about my trip!

Asante!
