Arusha: Day 1

[cswallow]

I wake to the sound of rain pounding on the window, only to hear it fade into the distance and realize that in fact it was the sound of a metal bike careening across the dirt road. In fact, the day is bright and only speckled with clouds. The light glints off the metal roofs of the nearby shops, and the city glistens green from the recent rains.

Sounds like it will definitely be educational, Jen. Everything here resonates with me: when I was a little girl, my dad used to read to me about Lake Tanganyike, and I have never been there, but will visit through you vicariously. I met Jane Goodall when I was a teenager and she was much younger. She enthralled me then and still does. St. Olaf is one of the prettiest campuses I visit of all of them I travel to.

I'd say you're off to a good start on an excellent adventure. Rest up! Thanks for taking us all along.
