so said a flycatcher (street vendor selling local art to tourists) to Steena as we were walking down the central street of Arusha, ah what a great moment. Steena IS super tall and graceful, and that was a definite compliment on his behalf.
The volunteers' flights are all delayed because of the damn volcanic ash! ugh. they are coming in an influx late tonight, I cant wait to meet everyone.
People are so nice here, it is very refreshing. Greetings to everyone in the room or passerby is a necessity, and which I think Americans tend to overlook (its importance, I mean).
Jena and I are helping to lead a workshop today for hte Tanzanian teaching partners--going over the cirriculum and the program. lunch time, which is mainly beans, rice, spinach, bananas, avocadoes, its NOW! cant wait.
Man i miss you guys! Its a funny feeling being so far away.
Were in a hostel till the end of the week,a dn then starting on Monday we will be living dormitory style for two weeks for orientation. Homestay move ins start the 2nd (i think?). No homestay for Jena, Glady, or me this time, but a house--with a field!! thanks meggles for not letting me forget to pack a frisbee!!!
Cheers!
