Hi Everyone,
Just want you all to know that I made it safely to Tanzania last night around 8:00 p.m. The combined 18 hour flight + the additional 7 hour lay-over was not too bad :o). I watched an edited version The Negotiator on the first 8 hour flight from Detroit to Amsterdam and then I watched National Treasure on the second 8 hour flight from Amsterdam to Tanzania. I didn't sleep too well on the plane, but I slept a good 9-10 hours when I arrived here last night.
The first day here has been great... I spent some time with some of the friends that I made last year. We went into town to buy bus tickets for my trip to Iringa, which is about a 14 hour bus ride from here. Pray for safe travel there and back... I will need it ;o) I will be in language school in Iringa for 4 weeks. One of the women here will be traveling with me. She is from Tanzania and can help with communicating... I am very thankful for that. She is also very nice and down to earth... Lacyndra, Debbo and Joell asked about you today... We also went looking for shampoo and soap... and NO I didnt find the kind that I was looking for but what I found will have to do...
I will post more later guys.. I have to read and pray and go to sleep. I need to be rested for all the things I have to do in the morning to prepare an overnight stay in Dar es Salaam... I will tell you about all of that later...
Blessings,
April Nicole
We went for lunch today and I couldn't help but to buy one of the drinks that Tanzania is famous for... according to Lacyndra... STONEY TANGAWIZI!!!! That is the picture that I have added. I will post more pics tomorrow so please check out this blog later....
