Salama! (peace)

Habarini!

Greetings from Zanzibar. Power has been out here for about 3 days now, so internet has been difficult. But we found a cafe with a generator so thumbs up. Everything here is good, very hot, but good. I am headed to Dar es Salaam tomorrow for 10 days, and will have interenet access there, so can write a nice long newsy post there. For now just wanted to check in! Activities of late have been my kiswahili final which went very well, as well as finding out that I infact, have two mothers here, not a mom and an aunt. They are sisters, but are also both married to my housedad, not something you learn every day I guess. Its all about the experience, right?

will write more soon,

laila

p.s. went snorkeling in a protected reef yesterday and saw an octapus, baby shark, and lobsters the size of a bike wheel! Insanity!
