Since the train didn't work out I'll be taking a bus instead. The longest bus ride I've taken so far was the 30-hour Greyhound trip I took from Baltimore - Grinnell to get to college my first year. Now I'll get to spend (at least) 36 hours on a bus, which should be interesting. Everyone I've talked to says the city I'll be going to, Mwanza, is really nice, so that should be fun too. I hope to spend a few days in Arusha as well. Aside from my bus ticket I haven't planned anything though, which gives me a lot of freedom to do whatever seems appealing at the time.
After the break we go into the field. The first and last weeks we're traveling around and visiting Serengeti, etc. which I'm super-excited for. The other four weeks will be spent in Tarangire working on our projects. I can't remember when I last went 7 weeks without internet. It should be interesting...
