So the last couple of weeks have been less traveling than before. Mostly because I can't afford anymore big trips, and my free flight to Rwanda fell through at the last minute... oh well. But it has still been quite eventful and full of good stories. The last couple weeks have included two more bouts of stomach sickness including a hospital visit, several BBQ's at the house, un apéro francais, lots of partying, LOTS of intern drama (of course), our first successful food delivery experience in Arusha, the US winning the France v US women's world cup semi-final, dancing to the only DJ in Arusha that plays rock music, attending two birthday parties for people I'd never spoken to before, a much too expensive hike to a village that turned out to be a museum of a village and to a beautiful waterfall that was only amazing thanks to lauren and stephanie's "power through" skills, POWERING THROUGH!, my first Dalla Dalla experience where they fit approximately 25+ people in a minivan sized "bus" and you pay less than a dollar to get an hours drive, a movie viewing of an excellent French classic "La Heine", African-style dress fittings, double dates with the frenchies, getting drunk on the roof of the 8 story UN building, getting really excited to find dark chocolate covered digestives, finding out that Lively Lady is NOT a strip club, finding out that our popular local bar managed by our good friend Tony with delicious Chips Mayai DOES sell sex in the back rooms for approximately 2$, staying out at Via Via til it closes on Thursday night (well actually Friday morning) at 5am, solving last night's mysteries, learning how to play Rugby, and earning the nicknames "G-Balls" (you can figure it out) and "Rugby Practice" (not explaining that one).
My last couple of weekends here will include several goodbye dinners, one big goodbye house party this Saturday, a visit to the Maasai village Ngaramtoni, a Rugby Tournament, souvenir shopping at the Maasai crafts markets, and an A-Z 26 bar pub crawl starting at 10am.
Keep you updated!!
