Hakuna matata. That was a phrase I repeated several times yesterday. I told myself if I said it enough times I might just believe the Kiswahili phrase for "No Problem". I mean, it's not a big deal to lose your ATM card somewhere in Africa, is it? Oh wait, maybe it is. Especially when you just took a 2-hour ferry ride to an island off the coast. And when credit cards are pretty worthless here. Oh boy. Don't worry, hakuna matata. It has been found, but losing my card sure did make one hectic day.
In other news, my much anticipated diving trip did eventually take place, despite losing my card. I found a well-respected dive shop here in Zanzibar that rents prescription goggles, so not having my contacts was once again, hakuna matata. The diving wasn't the best I've done, but still a blast. I absolutely love being under the ocean swimming with the fish and just enjoying the water. To top it off, on the short ride back in to the beach we saw a beautiful Marlin jumping all over the place.
It will unfortunately be a very short trip for me in Zanzibar as I head back to the mainland and up to Nairobi.

Your blogs are great Brian...They make me laugh...some things change...and other things never will. It excites me to hear about all of your cool experiences, and see all those pictures of you with animals and such.
Blessings and love,

Yeah, I agree with Dave, Brian... your Blogs are great! Not only do they give me something to read while i'm sitting in my way over-lighted cubicle, but they also make me happy knowing that you're having the time of your life. One thing i've been wanting to know though... are you learning any African dance moves? I'm sure we're all anticipating an African dance-off when you get back in the States!
Take care!
