Forget Raffi and the zoo song, go to Ngorongoro Crater dude. Well from my last post you saw I was waiting on the word from PC staff. Well they let us go. I think today is wednesday which means I met those 2 teachers 1 week ago. Monday we hitched a ride to Haydom to meet their bus and the students were shocked that 2 white kids jumped on their bus. (i dont think the teachers told them!) So try to picture our old school field trips to Plymouth Plantation or something. A well organized, peaceful trip to see some boring stuff and eat sandwiches. Yum. well this is a bit different. The tiny bus us liscenced to hold 30 people. We had 48 total people on the "bus." Students were literally sitting on top of each other and perfectly happy to do so. We got to our hotel and the next morning woke up bright and early for the crater. What an unbelievable day!. Before I came here I knew I wanted to visit the crater. Then on the spur of the moment I was given and offer and took it. Some of those students have never left their region and I got to see so many firsts for them. So cool. The crater is scary as hell to go down and up, but well worht the near death experience. It was wonderful to see the kids eyes when then saw elephants, lions, flamingos.... amazing. We stopped at a picnic area, in the middle of the crater, to eat some bread and a monkey came running and stole a bag. That was awesome so I started laughing but soon realized that I was wrong. That was 1 of 2 meals we had that day. Today we went to Kilimanjaro Airport to see the planes and that was awesome to see the expresions on their faces to see planes taking off and such.
Its 1 in the morning here and im pretty tired and talking non sense, but its so cool to be here. The people you meet, things you see and the surprises around the corner. So crazy. Tonight i met this family from California who decided to pack up the kids and travel the world for 1 year. Im talking to them now while I use this crappy yet free computer. I dont know what Im talking about so im gonna end. Its time for bed. peace
