i'm quickly writing this update from a cafe in arusha --- don't have much time because we're about to get picked up to go to meet our host family! it's been a loooong three days of traveling but we're doing great. driving 7 hours through kenya was very cool/different/dusty/bumpy. we had a delay in NYC so we were late in to london and didnt get to leave the airport in between our flights, which was a bit of a bummer. however, we lucked out in nairobi by miraculously getting on the early shuttle to arusha... not sure how we made that happen, but the e-mail i printed out from some random guy proved to be key. if we hadnt gotten the shuttle, we wouldve had an additional 7 hrs sitting in another airport! well we gotta run, but we'll try to update soon!
xoxo ali and em
