In Africa...

... but not much to report, save for the fact that I arrived safely. We got in late last night and it was too dark to see much. The "compound" that I'm staying at is much nicer than I expected, and I survived my first "bucket shower" this morning. It's about 9 am here; I was woken up at 6-ish by a rooster (there's a new experience!) crowing outside my window, and decided to join some keeners who wanted to head into Arusha. Officially, we start at 10 am.

I miss everyone back home, and I especially miss my nice, warm shower and safe drinking water - but I'm looking forward to the next couple weeks. If only it would stop raining. That's what I get for going to Tanzania during the rainy season.
