So after 2 long plane rides and a 5 hour bumpy dusty shuttle ride from Nairobi to Arusha, I have landed at my Aunt Maureen's school and house which I will call the "Plantation"from now on b.c of its beautiful landscape (banana trees, roses, crazy wild crows that look like they are wearing tuxedos, and a pack of 10-12 dogs) that belong to the school and my Aunt's friend Jerri who lives at the house. So last night after an amazing arrival dinner of spaghetti with home made sauce and garlic bread I passed out to the sounds of chanting from the nearby mosque (its Ramadan) the chanting was quite soothing and lulled me to sleep. I awoke to crazy cackling birds and the morning prayers from the mosque. Its not like Chicago noises that I was used to hearing in the a.m. (alley cars honking, trains rattling, neighbors music blaring) but I think I will soon adjust to life here at the "plantation". I am looking forward to heading to the school and meeting the students today!
Cheers,
:) Lisa
