Karibu!

Hello to all! I'm in Tanzania! All went according to plan: flights were on time, luggage arrived, immigration papers were in order, and here I am! My fellow teaching-fellow Danielle and I are staying temporarily in the beautiful guest house belonging to Umoja's administrator, who spent today taking us to change money and get set up with sim cards (my phone doesn't work -- will get a new one soon) and to see where we'll be teaching and get rooms organized. We will be teaching in the music building at the Moshi International School, Arusha campus. The school is in a beautiful, peaceful setting. I will have about 35 private students and some group lessons, which sounds ideal.

I'll write more soon, when I have pictures to post. Meanwhile, here I am at the airport retrieving my luggage. I am happy to be here and excited to get going! Lots to figure out still.
