Not much new...

Ok, so we had a really long drive yesterday and are now in Arusha. We drove past Kili and my goodness, I am in for quite a climb. John (the 18 year old Englishman that I am climbing with), looked like he was going to vomit when we finally saw the mountain. Although I have to say mt. Meru looks much bigger and more intimidating. It's cooled down quite a bit now that we are further inland and further north. I actually slept in my sleeping bag last night (although as many of you would guess, my feet were still hanging out the end). Today we go on a Massi village walk. Then tomorrow it is off to the Ngorongoro Crater and then to the Serengetti. I'm excited to see some animals again as we haven't really seen anything since Zambia.
Anyways, Thane, sorry about the lack of photos, but I don't have the patience to deal with the internet speed over here, you'll have to wait till I get home to see the photos. Holly - the food has actually been really good, although I don't know if you would call what we are eating African as one of the guys on tour is an Aussie chef, so Tristan pretty much cooks everything for us. We have had a few dinners in villages, and I have to say, I could not eat that on a regular basis. I was expecting to loose so weight on this trip, but with Tristan's cooking, I have definately put a little on (lack of excercise doesn't help either). Katie - I hope the baby comes soon, I know you must be going crazy. I keep wanting to check my email, waiting for the email from Dustin. One of the girls on our trip is a nurse and her recommendation was to do a lot more of what got you in this spot in the first place and you never know. But can't wait to hear the news and see the pictures. I've been trying to figure out if the baby will look more like a Stringer or a Vermast. Anyways everybody! I should get going. Have some laundry to do. Talk to you all before I head up Kili. Good luck Katie and Go Sens Go (pretend the picture has a Sens sweater instead)!
