Arusha, Tanzania
Well, we arrived in Arusha today after taking the night bus from kisumu to Nairobi (9hrs) then the 6:30 am bus to Arusha (6.5 hrs) so needless to say we were tired when we arrived. We found a place to stay for 12 dollars a night (included breakfast) and are trying to figure out if we will be able to accept one of the million offers a minute we get to go on a safari.
Everyone is really friendly, as we have found africans to be but I think they're extra friendly at the prospect of winning our safari money....
After we went to the hotel to shower and nap we went to the stadium for a soccer game which was wonderful! Everyone was so happy and they all had radios that were playing a different soccer game so they wouldn't miss it. Every time the right team on the radio scored the whole crowd errupted - regardless of what was going on on the field. It was really great to be part of the action.
To all our friends at home, we love you and miss you. Hope everything is going well there.
