My parents have come and gone. I am sad to see them off but it was so wonderful to see them and show them around here. Thursday I showed them around Dar - we visited all of my friends, the orphanage and the market and then had a delicious Ethiopian food dinner with my group. Friday we headed to Zanzibar and took a tour of the city and had a spice tour, followed by the long (1 hour) drive to our BEAUTIFUL hotel on the beach. Saturday we spent relaxing by the pool - Mom even swam! They fed me unbelievably well (this previously vegetarian girl ate a hamburger for lunch and a steak for dinner!) Now they are up in Tarangire National Park and seeing all of the animals you could imagine. Yesterday they saw a mother and 3 baby lions eating a freshly killed zebra! Mom is particularly happy to finally see all of her National Geographic photos in real life.
School is finally starting to happen. Sorta. I didn't realize "African Time" tramnslated to weeks, not just hours. Oy.
Much love.
