Well, I'm here!

Hello everybody! It is 6:55 Arusha time, and just before dinner. We've all landed safe and sound, had our first 23 and a half hours in Tanzania, and been busy busy busy! Flight was lovely (they served us soup! Who serves soup on a turbulent airplane!?) and baggage claim was a breeze - no one lost anything, which was good. We had our first kiswahili lesson, and then went to the main city or Arusha and to 3 different markets. Walking around, I realized just how important it is going to be to learn kiswahili much better than the basic 'hello how are you'. Anyhow, dinner starts in 5 minutes, and I'm starving. Hopefully I"ll have time later this week to write more, but until then, haya kwa heri! (that's 'bye' for you non-kiswahili speakers)
