back in arusha again, but I only have time for a quick update... things a have been going great, I have been essentially camping for the last 3 weeks and will continue for the next 6 or so, pretty wild in the wilderness sense, very dirty, hot, but VERY cool... I cant even go into it but everything is fine, everyone is very healthy, albeit skinnier, and the group dynamic is great. We've grown accustomed to speaking masaii, seeing giraffe, zebra, etc daily, and living without most things we're used to... the landscape is breathtaking and the days go quickly...we are on a 'break' currently and heading to ngorongoro crater tomoorow for a mini safari, hopefully we'll see the big cats there that have eluded us so far...If you have Google Earth, there are some beautiful photos from Ngorongoro Crater, and here is the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngorongoro_Conservation_Area
It's a giant, 3 million-year-old volcanic crater, which has become a protected area for the incredible variety of wildlife in the area. A very popular photo-safari destination.
Anyway, we're happy to hear that everything's going great! It'll be fun to hear Dylan speak a bit of Maasai at Christmas!
