Love at First Sight

Hello Everyone! I do not have tons of time to write, but here are a few tid-bits so that anyone who is waiting to hear from me doesn't worry:
-This is awesome
-I met Melendy, a fellow student, in Amsterdam and we flew to Kilimanjaro together (over Greece and Egypt) where Ethel (one of our coordinators - she's great) and Tau (he drives a lot for Acadia - also great) picked us up and took us to Arusha where we stayed in a hotel before coming to our apartment (in a different hotel) today.
-It's hot but not too hot
-I haven't gotten to explore yet but it's beautiful here
-I'm homesick but not at all to the extent that I could be. So far I feel really at home and comfortable.
-Melendy and I decided to be roomates and since we got here first we picked what we thought was the best room even though they are all the same.
-The apartments are pretty much better than the one we had at Goucher (blasphemy, I know) and really good sized.
-I haven't seen a single mosquito.
-People touch you a lot. Like when they shake hands with you they hold on and sometimes touch your other arm. It's really nice.
-Tomorrow we are going on safari
-I hope that they stop being so nice too us because I feel even more privileged than I do at home
-Although it is too soon to say, coming here may be one of the best decisions I have made.
-Time difference: I am 8 hours ahead of Massachusetts and Baltimore, and (obviously) 11 hours ahead of San Diego.
-The address that I listed to the left of these posts is the one that you should send letters to.

I miss you all SO much! Get on skype and I will as soon as I can. Pictures are coming :)
