Remember me?

I’m back from Tanzania! We pulled into Nairobi a few hours ago after a long bus ride from Arusha, TZ. I’ve spent the past few hours video chatting with my family and starting on the huge amount of work I’ve let pile up. I have just 2 days to pull everything together for my ISP—I bought my ticket for the overnight bus to Mombasa this afternoon, so I’m leaving Tuesday night for sure. Better buckle down.

While in Tanzania, our group received word of two grenade attacks in Nairobi, one at a nightclub and the other at a crowded bus stop. We were glad to be in the relatively peaceful country of Tanzania at this point and pretty unsettled to hear the news. We are now back in Nairobi, but SIT has plans in place to move us if necessary. Since arriving back in Nairobi, I haven’t felt unsafe but, as advised, will be sure to avoid places where foreigners congregate…farewell for now, Art Caffe.

Now back to my trip to Tanzania! I’ll elaborate more on the details in future posts, but for now, here’s a peek into the amazing week.
