preparing for the road again


Hello all!
I've returned from my 3 week homestay and now am on my way to Amboseli and the coast for the next two weeks!

My homestay went really well: my family was really pleasant and I had a lot of fun times with them. Last sunday, I went to an outdoors concert/festival thing with my siblings which was a nice change of pace. Overall, this week has been pretty quiet because we've had a lot of coursework... so unfortunately I  don't have too many stories. However, you may be amused to find out that I had so much free time due to sitting in traffic that I finished Harry Potter #3 and #6 (all in one week, too!). I had no idea traffic jams could be so fun! (I also had dance parties and sing-a-longs with my siblings during traffic jams. It's weird to think that some of my favorite moments are when I was trapped in a car surrounded by stinky, polluted air!)

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures in the next couple of weeks. I literally didn't take any pictures at my urban homestay (except of the monkeys and some cool iridescent clouds). 

I took this one but had a hard time capturing the color while also keeping the brightness realistic.


 I CANNOT take credit for this beautiful picture; it is by Eric, a friend of my brother. 


My family said we'd take a family picture in the next couple of weeks to ensure that I'd come back to visit! :) 

To make up for my lack of interesting pictures, take a look at my new favorite animal! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eorN0-K-UzE 

Oh, by the way, I'll be without internet during this time, so don't be surprised if I don't respond. 
Hope you all have a lovely 2 weeks!
