OK guys - so I'm in Africa. Sorry Jojo, its nothing like the rugby pitch at school, you were wrong. So, let me tell you what I've done, and then you guys can write back and tell me what you've been up to, and then I'll be happy and I'll keep writing.
I've only been here for one full day. The plane ride was really long. The people I'm with are super nice there are four boys and four girls. Everyone gets along pretty well.

Let me tell you about the animals I saw. First of all, there are these monkeys. The boys have blue genitals. Jojo, maybe you would want to invest it that, or Dusty: that seems something you would like. The girl monkeys really go for it.

There are also these animals, they call them bush babies, that live in trees. I guess they resemble koala bears, but they scream at night. Sometimes I guess they drink palm wine and get drunk and fall out of trees.

We got to learn some Tanzanian dancing yesterday, so that was fun. I'm pretty uncoordinated. Then, I played soccer with two of the american guys and a bunch of Tanzanian kids. I was pretty bad, but they were really nice to me. I really wish I could speak swahili now, its so hard to communicate. (A lot of people do speak english though.)

We also went into town, Arusha. Arusha is a lot like Tijuania in Mexico, with people on the streets selling things. They tell me that this is the only place like that inTtanzania, because Arusha is a touristy place. I can see mount kilimanjaro and mount mero from here.

The weather is quite cool because we are at a high elevation, and there are very few insects. I guess that will change when we go to dar es salaam as well.

Today we will be visiting a school and shopping in town. Tomorrow we are visiting a cocoa farm and a women's shelter type thing. So that stuff should be fun as well.

Today is farmers day. So things are really relaxed, its a pretty big holiday.

Thats really all i know right now. I hope you guys are having a great summer, and I can't wait to see you or at least hear from you all.

miss you guys,

krissy
