Hello everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know I arrived safely in Tanzania. We left the morning of the 8th, flew to Newark, Amsterdam, Kilimanjaro, and finally Dar Es Salam. It was a 26 hour proces, but all in all not too bad.

Today we took a ferry to Zanzibar. Zanzibar is an incredible place that is a nice mix of African, Indian, and Arabian influeces. It is very clean, and the people have been extremely friendly and helpful. It has been a great place to spend my 23rd birthday! We do not have any major plans for the next few days, but we will probably take some tours of the island and hit up the beaches.

Since the last few days have been so busy and overhwhelming, I do not have a whole lot more to say. I am looking forward to relaxing and decompressing over the next few days to let everything all sink in. I hope to update again one more time before leaving Zanzibar.

Eric
