Where am I?

Well after a couple weeks in Tanga, I decided it was time for something new. So I hopped on a bus yesterday morning and came down to Dodoma with my buddy Naftal. Staying at his place now for a few days. I think I'll be going to Zanzibar after here, but I am still frustrated about leaving my contact lenses behind and therefore making a possible dive in the beautiful Indian Ocean worthless. We'll see, well maybe I won't.

I can't believe I only have a few weeks left: a week or so here in Tanzania and then up north to Kenya where I'll get to go on a safari in the Maasai Mara and see "Samanda" (i.e. my good friends Sam and Amanda Parks). Then it's to the airport on August 17th to head on home.

For the safari, my dad and I will be heading to the Maasai Mara in southwest Kenya. Here we will see all sorts of wildlife including the "Big Five": lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhino (hopefully). We should also get to see some of the massive migration of wildebeest in which every year over a million of them form massive herds and move through the Serengeti in TZ into the Mara. It'll be quite a sight to see.
