A suitcase would be nice

i've been wearing the same 3 shorts and 2 shirts for 3 days. hopefully it will get here later today. its 12:45 PM on Monday.

Mom, sorry I didn't call you to say Happy Mothers Day. Phones are more complicated than I expected.

Learning a lot from Dr. Whitney & Dr. Simon.
Went to the jungle yesterday on a 3 hour walk, with security of course. I saw some monkeys in the trees. They're scared of people because they used to get eaten but they were very cute.
There was this tree in the jungle that was 51 meters tall. Reminded me of the tree in Pandora.
I had the best banana I've ever had in my life for breakfast this morning.

My bag just got here. YESSSSSSSSSS.

If you're reading this, comment. I'm feeling a little irritated about taking time to write if no one cares.

Asante. (that means thank you, so I've been saying it a lot because the people are so nice)

    So glad the suitcase got there. Now you can begin living right. Sounds beautiful over there. I am going to let all our friends know about your cute blog. Mom got home 8 hours late from Rome last night. It is noon on Monday here.

  3. Hi my precious girl, I miss you so much but am so glad everything is wonderful. Good job on having the NECESSITIES in that carry-on!!! The volcano is at its work again and it took us 12 hours to get home from ROME after a 6 hour delay. Mona and I had a blast though, did you know Zach's birthday is APRIL 13, born at 220 pm, you are 3 hours older, ha!! You two have so much in common, he wants to go to Tanzania next year. Was KLM nice to you? how was your seat? Near your friends or in First Class? Do you like the students? Have you been to the market yet? Lots of questions,am so proud of you and glad you are happy, keep sunscreen on your feet!! I love you Mommy

  7. Buddy! I am so excited to get to live vicariously through you during your awesome trip. Flying into Kilimanjaro must have been insane... I cannot even imagine how massive it is in person! You should put on a British accent and make a Planet Earth-esque documentary! Well, I miss you tons and can't wait to see you when you get back! Live it up, I love you!!!

  16. To everyone reading Clare's blog, the internet is not working at her hotel since last Monday and that is why she has not updated her blog.
    LOOK OUT for when she gets internet service again. Whit

  18. Glad your luggage made it! Nothing worse than a hot shower and dirty clothes. Every time I flew American Airlines they lost my luggage (really). Love the name of your blog, very catchy and easy to remember. Looking forward to your next post and hope that you are having a blast! Can't wait to see your pictures. Luv and miss you loads, Mare

  20. Good morning, Clare,
    If I have your itenerary correct, you are waking up in Tanzania's capital,
    Dar es Salaam? I know that you will be there for a few days. This will be your first chance to see the sunrise over the Indian Ocean. I've never been so lucky.
    Have a great time in the "big" city. Hope you get some Wi-fi coverage. We all need a blog update. Nat went to see Tim McGraw. Mom and I went to the crawfish festival at Wild Wing and the Greek Festival. A day of festivities. Opa!!
    Asante. Love you, Dad
