Sorry there hasn't been any posts. Whenever I get a chance to get on the internet at the house, the power always goes out and it takes 10 mins to restart this computer. I'll post more when I'm back in the US.
I left Morgantown at 2 am, slept in the car to Dulles, said bye to Dad, got to the gate with no problem. Including me, there were 4 CCS people on my flight. For some reason we left DC 90 mins late so we missed our connection in Addis Ababa. I can officially say that I've been to Ethiopia. So we got to Tanzania a day late, but had fun getting there and meeting the other stranded people.
We started placement on Tuesday. It is very different from doctors' offices in the US. Patients bring their own charts and everything is prescribed for 5 days. I'm learning that you really have to know the language to be productive. Now, I want to learn Swahili. You can get by with English for the most part, but Swahili is so much better.
We didn't have placement on Friday because of Christmas. We left Thursday afternoon for safari! We went to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and visited a Maasai village. It was neat. We camped while we were gone and it rained everday, particularly at evening and night which made for some interesting times setting up tents. The coolest thing we saw were 9 black rhinos in Ngorongoro (that's rare!), and an elephant trumpet when it realized that the leopard was so close.
Enough for now. Gotta eat breakfast and head to placement. more later. :)
