After many many hours flying, waiting, and waiting some more, we've finally arrived in Arusha, Tanzania! Currently we're staying at a hostel in town and will be going to site in two days. We met up with some volunteers every step of the way and ended up at JRO with a total of 8. All is well on this side of the world and we're super excited to be here.
As for the long walk we expected, we were lucky enough to get picked up by Jacob (a local who works with OHS) and dropped off at the hostel. Tomorrow we'll get more acquainted with the town and then get ready to see our own site!
The drive here was entrancing. More on this later, but everyone stares and the kids all smile and wave. It's unreal that we're finally here, but adjustment will happen quickly, I'm sure and many more stories will follow!
