Yesterday was a peaceful day. I woke up more tired than usual despite sleeping in an extra hour. At school we had parent teacher conferences; I had to hurry getting ready in the morning because Abby wanted to get to school early to prepare. I didn’t have anything to do and I was happy to […]

Yesterday was boring but calming. Some of the family left in the morning to go to Nairobi to pick John up from school and bring him home for Easter break. So, there aren’t many people left in the house. Yesterday there was no school for the kids, but for some reason Pius wanted the teachers

Yesterday was scrambled. The morning bus route got all confused and twisted with the rain. Abby and I didn’t want to walk to school, so our driver came to pick us up from home. He arrived around 7:15, already starting us off on the wrong foot. The first half of the route went smooth, but

Yesterday was really productive. Normally busy days fly past, leaving me grasping for hours that don’t exist, but yesterday was generous. I woke up in a good mood and had a premonition it would be a good day because I could see the sun lighting up the sky when I walked out of my room.

Yesterday was a great day. I hadn’t realized how much the weather was weighing down my mood until the sunny skies revitalized me. As always, the route got messed up. Abby and I arrived at school at our regular time to find the bus had left without us. Pius decided to go on our route

Yesterday was supposed to be a lazy day. Instead it was spent in Tarangire. I had gone to bed late the night prior (I guess you could say in the early hours of yesterday) a little past midnight. I was expecting to sleep in, but I woken up at 6:00 with the news we would

Time is flying! As of yesterday I’ve crossed into only 3 weeks left. I’m a bit nervous to leave and start something new—I’ve become very comfortable here in Arusha. Yesterday I slept in for a while. I was very tired the night before, so it was much needed and thankfully there wasn’t any school! Friday

Yesterday was a quick day. We woke up and hit the road. The guests who had been my accompaniment were finishing their trip off, and flew back to Arusha from Serengeti early in the morning. We had to drive them to the airport before we could head out—it was around 9:00 a.m. before we could

Yesterday I was lucky enough to go on a true game safari. Wake up was at 5:00 and boy was it worth it. We hurried to leave the camp around 5:45; a brief breakfast at 5:30 and then on the road. I was in a car with my pals Stan, Jan and Mo, some folks
