I'm finally here and love it. I don't have very much time to write but here are some high points...
- 12 hour layover in Amsterdam- did a canal tour and went to the Anne Frank museum
- saw a monkey in the jungle at the base of Kilimanjaro
- jumped off a waterfall
- drank banana soup and banana beer- they were both gross
- volunteering at Kilimani Nursery School in the mornings and the Orphanage in the afternoons. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
- how friendly everyone is
- learning Swahili
- the hour walk to Kilimani nursery
- All of the other volunteers
And the low points...
- I was SO tired in Amsterdam I fell asleep on the canal tour
- rats live in the house...seriously...and they are big
- the bathroom is disgusting...I'll post a picture soon
- the toilet at the Nursery is a hole in the dirt outside
- being SO tired the first couple of days
- the hour walk to Kilimani Nursery in the heat
