After our Safari, we spent one night each in Arusha and Moshi. Nothing much to see and we were quite surprised how small they both are. It was a good time to relax a little bit and from Moshi we were able to see Mount Kilimanjaro - with snow at the top - quite a sight. We then travelled to Dar es Salaam and took a flight to Dubai We have been in Dubai since this morning - it's little milder this time - only 30 degrees (very humid though). We were able to get the Internet Cafe here and are [View Full Entry]

I've now been in the country for nearly 2 months and I've just about stopped making comparisons between here and my experiences in India. Well almost. Unfair and trite as it may be, it's been impossible not to. Once again, I've found myself having to adapt to and soak up a different culture. But this time I feel like I’m wearing my own clothes. I don’t feel quite so ‘other’ here. Things seem somehow more familiar, more Western. I’m surrounded Western music, Western cothes (mostly football shirts for the men and shimmering polyester dresses for the women), [View Full Entry]

Tembo beach campsite , Lake Victoria to the Serengeti Up at dawn (we were getting really good at this!). Also feeling pretty refreshed after our luxury upgrade. Beach apartment, our own shower, proper bed... A long drive ahead though and the prospect of no showers for two nights. It would be six hours to our next campsite once we were inside Serengeti, and we were still at Lake Victoria. We stopped at a market in Musoma before setting off. Denford had to buy some fruit and veg and pretty much everyone volunteered to help; we wanted to see round the market. [View Full Entry]

After leaving Zanzibar, we started our African Safari from Arusha. We flew from Zanzibar to Arusha in a really small aircraft - 20 passengers - no stewardess. We were sitting right inthe front seat and could see the pilots too. There was no closed cabin for them. At Arusha airport we had to walk out of the small plane inthe open field and walk towards the really small terminal building. Our first stop was Lake Manyara National Park and we saw lots of baboons,giraffes, elephants, pelicans, and one cheetah (our driver had seen a cheetah in Lake Manyara National Park only [View Full Entry]

The Power of the Printed Word. We’ve all heard that phrase before … maybe about poetry, the Bible, political debates on the front page of the newspaper, or words of wisdom from a simple children’s book. I have never witnessed such a reaction to something I have written myself until June of this year. Most of you know that the Kensington Woods Church of Christ distributes a monthly newsletter for the TZ2000 work. Several try to pitch in and provide articles for it as we can, and I was excited when my “Sew Bee It” article was printed in the June [View Full Entry]

I am at a loss of words regarding my current status. I am so overwhelmed by everything going on in my life right now. I have just moved to a new town i dont know anyone here, all of my old friends have forgotten about me and that is still exsist. I have to lose a bunch of weight, like 20-30 lbs. I need to raise $6500 for my africa trip, aply to college, homework, maybe try a social life and get a job, oh and ride my horse. Maybe i should sell her, that would give me an easy $6000.
