Arrival in Arusha, Tanzania

We arrive in the warm and softy humid evening, debarking straight from the plane to t tarmac.

A lot of people queue up and a a long wait for a Visa (costing $100) ensues.

The drive from the airport to the Impala hotel via is about 20 minutes of diesel smells under a astounding canopy of stars. The low amount of light pollution means that the visibility is glorious. A photography professor from Delaware strikes up an conversation with Jay, hes in town for 10 days to gain materials for a book on the -----

Susan James and Craig Packer are at the hotel waiting to take us to the Savanna's Forever compound -- The Pink Fortress. We get a tour and then talk a while into the night.

Sleep is under mosquito nets and piecemeal. I remove my ear plugs to enjoy the cricket chirp chorus, eventual a single mans voice joins in chanting what sounds like Arabic or Hindi prayers, early in the morning. Later the birds start up and the voices of large groups of children singing occur at 7AM.

Breakfast: Avocados, bananas, mangos and scones.

Meeting in morning regarding data collection.
