Kenya!!

So today we crossed the border into Kenya! We woke up early to say our goodbyes to the staff at Havennature :( and got into the trucks and left.

We stopped in Arusha, Tanzania on the way to go to the grocery store (A REAL GROCERY STORE!!!) and to get milkshakes!!!! and sandwiches!!! It was all so so so delicious. At the store I bought: 6 kit kat, 4 snickers, 2 boxes of cookies, a can of pringles (salt n vinegar), nutella, apples, and toothpaste. After, I got a chocolate milkshake and a chicken, pesto, avacado, mozzarella sandwich!!

We drove a total of 8 ish hours and finally got to the camp! the other group of students greeted us at the entrance and welcomed us to our new home.

After a short welcome session, we got our tent assignments, moved in, and played some volleyball. Dinner was great! the chefs here are really good. We had chapati, chicken, guacamole, soup, mashed potatoes, kale, and real penne pasta!

The duka (snack shop) here is a lot better than the one at havennature. they have cold sodas, a huge stock of candy, t-shirts (kinda weird), and postcards! pretty convenient.

ANd tomorrow is the big day! The Tanzania (us) v Kenya (them) olympics start at 8am! Hopefully I'll kick some ass and win a gold medal for ultimate ninja!

I'll post more updates soon with pictures of the site and of my final days at Havennature. The mosquitos here are killing me so time to go to tuck my mosquito net in and go to bed!
