Back "Home"

WILL: Once again we students enjoyed a sunrise breakfast on the 4th floor dining room overlooking Stone Town and the Indian Ocean. The view was remarkable and the ocean was a crystal blue. Shortly after breakfast, we packed our belongings into the two buses and headed for the Zanzibar airport. Scotty, referred to as the trouble-maker by Mama Moshi, was privileged to tote her bag while traveling...something that I don't think Scotty minded because of the extensive bonding that had been established during the Zanzibar trip. While most of our day was filled with waiting at airports and two short flights, we did arrive back at what seemed like home - our headquarter compound. We were welcomed by the staff and were able to catch the end of "tea time," which is a staple here. During our afternoon tea break, we found recent student arrivals from Colorado and games of volleyball and soccer ensued. After dinner, we all met for a short briefing of the game parks to come. Needless to say, all of us are really looking forward to seeing the big game that Africa is known for and another journey in the Land Cruisers.
