In the land of typogracphical errors.

Okay, so here's the deal. On December 28th, my friend Kirsty and I went to Tanga!! Which is on the coast. It's a bit smaller then Arusha (the city close to me) and it's mostly a Muslim community. And everyone there rides their bikes around. Anyways! Indian Ocean, people!! I was soooo stoked so see the ocean, having lived by it for 18 years, and now being separated from it for 4 months. It was incredibly warm in comparison to the Pacific, and Tanga was hot too. So much happened while I was on that trip, but I'll give you the general idea! So Kirsty drove her parents car, with me being in charge of music, to Tanga, and we made it in 5 hours. Which is quite good time. Davin had been in Tanga for a while, with his family, and he was taking care of a friends beach house, so that's where we stayed for the duration of our trip. And there was an air conditioned room, praise the Lord!!! So anyways, there was a ton of just relaxing time for Kirsty and myself, and we would go swimming in the ocean, and she would ride the horses... Which I didn't do. Because... They kinda sorta freak me out to be honest. Yup! And we brought Kirsty back four days before we were supposed to because she got an ear infection and her immune system is already crappy because she is just getting better, so at 4:30 she woke me up and we headed back to Arusha at 6. And Davin drove. And then we stayed the night at her house and I decided to just bus back to Tanga with Davin, since I liked it there, and the Pamoja folk weren't expecting me back until the 9th. Sooo back we went, which was an adventure in itself, what with the guy on the bus that kept touching my leg (Don't worry, I had a bodyguard) .... And taking a daladala and walking 2 km in the flipperin' hot heat. Uh huh. Aaaaaand oh yeah! We went on a tuktuk, one of those 3-wheeled bike deals and walked around some caves. And I crashed a random Indian girls birthday party. But not really, because the Korda family was invited so I just tagged along. OH and I played volleyball, which has me all psyched 'cause I didn't suck at it. Chyeah. Some rad stuff went down, anyways. But now I'm back at Pamoja!

Okay so I wrote all that hours ago. And now it's almost midnight and I had a huge cup of coffee, which was stupid, and now I'm all awake and twitchy and stuff. So I'm just gonna keep going with this and see what happens. I've decided to not backspace anything from here on out. JLet's see how coogod my typing is at this hour. Hm. Not gerverygood so far I see. That sucks. ik inda pride myself in my typingm but now I' think I'm overthinkign it, y'know!::?? Yeah. Totally am. Darn. Okay well FI'm going to insert a picture now, see you in a sec.


THAT. Is the beach in fron t of the house we were at. There are stairs up that cliff onto the lawn of the house. 



Check ist outtttttt, that's a tuktuk. Which could be the wrong spelling of the world. Word I mean. But who cares?! They're kinda scary actually.

Alrighty. Well there are some pictures for you,. My internet seems to be going kinda speedy so I'm just gonna throw in another one for your viewing pleasure. No need to thank me.


My dearest friends, that is the lovely and majecstive and by that i mean majestic, Mount Kilimanjaro! Super rad, right>?? Seriious, you never realize how humungous that sucker is until you wee.. Man this is hard. UI meant SEE her in real life. Iiiiiinnnncredible!

Alright. Well seeing as I'm so hardcore and stuff, i scraped my knee playeing volleyball, on SAND which iws quite a skill-taking.. Thing. I guess. I used the wrong word thataere. There. And then tried to make that sentence work and it tdidn't. Ugh. ANYWAYS. Then I played MORE voleleyball and my knee got worse, and then i sat on a bus for like 7 hours and people kept walking by and rubbing against it and now it's all infected and gross. Cool strory, right? Uh huh. Well. It gets better. Because I have a Scooby Doo bandaid on it!! Wheeee!! So yeah. Literally. Better. Scooby is so cute, I like him. I wish wer were better friends. But he's so famous, we hardly would be able to find the time to hang out, y'know?!

... I just realized what i wrote up there. And methinks it's time for me to shut this baby down. So i'm gonna.

And this is just getting more and more awkward. I still haven't backspaced anything and my typing has marginally improved in the past little while. I mean.. I just typed 'marginally' without making a mystkate. TWICE. But then i screwed up while typing mistake which is slightly comical. And now... I'm crashing.

  3. Wow, sounds like you had an awesome Christmas vacation! I just got back from Tanga and the coast and loved it, although it's a whole lot hotter than here. Also, I enjoyed your commentary about the whole typing adventure ;)
