GO BRUINS!

UCLA beats Tennessee(18) 27-24 in overtime in the Bruins' first game with Rick Neuheisel!!

Aside from this exciting game and good news for the Bruins...



Thanks, Jess, for your question! Here and when we're over in TZ, we would love any comments, questions, or suggestions you all may have. We'll do our best to respond to them ASAP.

And to answer your question, there IS internet in the town of Arusha. Mateves Village, where we will be centered, is a half-hour drive away from the budding town of Arusha and has no internet. However, we will be visiting Arusha (FYI, I tend to refer to it as "town" - and Mateves as "village") on the weekends for supplies, hot shower (if so desired), and of course, connection with the folks from home!


This weekend, Michael and I went shopping for supplies and got super-compact sleeping bags (for easy carrying) and LOTS and LOTS of insect repellent.

Malaria = bad.

That's it for now, thanks for reading!
