Update

All it said was:

"Dear Adam, Unfortunately Dr. Leakey will not be available in July."

And my hopes were shattered.

Not much has happened since the last blog beyond reading, writing, and researching. I sat on the deck for the ferry ride back, right on the front of the boat, and got drenched by waves. It was nice because it was so hot outside and the water is crystal clear.

The drive up from Dar es Salaam to where we are now in Arusha was beautiful. One of the more breathtaking moments was driving along side Mt. Kilimanjaro. The mountain is very impressive. 19,000 feet basically coming up from sea level. It is VERY tall and very beautiful. It is the only mountain around so it stands out, rising from the plains.

We will be spending the next 3 days with the Maasai people, in their village. To learn mroe about these people see the link on the right.
