First Day!

            The traveling has finally ended! We left the hotel this morning after a delicious breakfast overlooking a great view, and started the long 5 hour drive to Moyo Hill, our final destination. The ride was long, bumpy, and sometimes slow (occasional cattle crossings!), but I got some great pictures along the way. We even ran into a few baboons sitting on the side of the road as we drove through Lake Manyara National Park!

            Unpacking and a little bit of orientation rounds out today. Tomorrow we meet with faculty here at the school and learn a little bit about what to expect over the next few weeks. After getting completely settled in, all I can say is it feels so good to be back. The long flights, the lay over, the heavy bags – in the end, it’s all worth the trouble just to be back in Africa.
