second full day in arusha

The chaos of my first night definitely appears to have been an isolated incident. Yesterday Dio, (who is the coolest 13 year old in the world), took us to a snake park. we rode there on a dalla dalla wich is the most insane method of transport in the world. they fill a mini van with 20+ people and drive like crazy. people hang on to the sides sit on laps, and ride on roofs. it is scary as hell, especially after almost dying in a car crash my first night here. We got to play with snakes,see monkeys, and Dio threw a big rock at a huge crocadile. Today Dio and his cousin Sia took me swimming at a local hotel. the sun wasn't out and we got so cold that my hands turned purple. Then Sia took me to meet her mom and eat lunch at her resturant. I have yet to find a non-sucky internet connection, so i might have to wait until i get into the city untill i can post any pics. way more stories to tell when i get the time. i'll post again soon.
