I got to Zanzibar with my self, psyche, and stuff intact. Unfortunately, Kathleen's flight from RDU to JFK was canceled, so I made the journey alone. It was not the preferred method of traveling for me, but my experience traveling helped me out. I made it here safely.
On the ferry ride from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar I met a girl named Ahlem who is 18. She saved the day for me, lending me her phone to call Zakiyah, the woman with whom I'm staying. She also rode in the taxi with me and helped me get through immigration. She was really kind and I am indebted to her for helping me out. I got her contact info, so I hope we'll meet up again while we're here. It's cool that she's my age.
I can't write any more for now because I'm running out of time on my internet clock (I'm at an internet cafe). But everything is good here.

ReplyDeleteI found it helpful to write my entries in a word document while chilling at Zakiya's, then copy/pasting to save internet time at the cafe!
Have an amazing time! And tell Zakiya I miss her, I miss her, I MISS HER!!
