So, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, and I apologize. I got into a letter writing frenzy and I just completely forgot to update the rest of you on my life. Before I begin, let me say check out the videos in the last post. Crazy. Goes to show that some of my april fool’s entry was true (I think i mentioned jumping off cliffs). Also, here are some links for some photos of my current vacation. I’ve already been to Zanzibar again, and right now I’m in Dar es Salaam, and soon I’ll be off visiting Bagamoyo and Tanga regions, which are both north of Dar on the Indian Ocean coastline. I’ll make sure to keep updating photos. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2446819&l=0f005&id=6803262
School holiday and eating bonanza
Videos!
Below are the much waited for and highly anticipated clips of Sarah and myself jumping off of a cliff. Insanity. The quality was downgraded for uploading purposes, but I think the videos pretty much give the basic idea. Enjoy! More videos on the way of zip-lining and some tribal dances from last year’s graduation.

Nipo!
So, it’s been awhile. I apologize. First off, after my trip to Zambia, I came back to my site area to find the whole area was flooded. It had been a season of intense floods, and i was hitting the end of it. I made my way to my bank city, where everyone was staring at me and asking ‘you really are trying to go back today?’ I soon saw my headmaster, who was on his way to town to do school stuff, and basically i found out that a few people got lucky with some sort of tractor, but most people were hitting certain flooded areas, and then doing 1 of 2 things. Either they paid someone to carry them across, or they took off most of their clothes, waded through the floods, and then redressed. So, I talked to my headmaster and Peace Corps, and decided I’d just stay in town and work on a math document with the computers that I wanted to create for new volunteers. Read More…
