Zanzibar!

After getting to Zanzibar I have changed my mind, I am considering staying in africa a little longer and changing my date of return to Nov. 27th to stay and volunteer here. Not sure yet though. But zanzibar is awesome- really I think the rest of Tanzania is awesome. I am somewhat saddened by the fact that I have spent the last several months in Arusha which is really the armpit of Tanzania. It doesn't feel like Africa there. But now I am really in Africa and it is so much more amazing and the people are great. I haven't made any attempts to change my flight yet, but I am considering it. Will know more tomorrow. Either way I have to go back to Arusha on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday but I was thinking of coming back to Tanga and Zanzibar for awhile.

This is perhaps the ultimate choice of coming back to reality or deciding to get lost on an island for a little while. Now that I am out of Arusha, Tanzania is so wonderful. I really want to stay and see more and do more. My school was great in Arusha, but the program at the time was essentially nonexistent and I felt horribly isolated most of the time. If I have the choice to stay and maybe seek out something better here I might just do it. Sorry guys that I told I would be home so soon....It might not happen for another month.

I met up with some girls from Norway and have been travelling with them for a few days now in Zanzibar. Currently I am in Kendwa and I am going to Stone Town tomorrow to seek some potential volunteer options or at least a cheap hostel.

Today I got to play with a monkey. It ate 3 bananas and tried to chew on my head.

Sorry for the redundancy and lack of fluid thought, but i am paying excessively for this internet time and it is about out.
