Lately I feel like most of my life is spent waiting. But patience is a virtue right? It's been a bit cold in Arusha lately although I'm sure its not nearly as cold as back home.
So today is Christmas Eve and normally I'd be hanging out with family in anticipation of some delicious food and gift giving. This year I read my novel for a couple hours and then I went swimming for the afternoon. In the evening I hung out with my friends, had a yummy, fairly Indian dinner and then went to the club for a couple drinks. Kind of an odd way to celebrate but "this is how we do." Tomorrow should be quite a lovely day. Some friends and I are doing a day trip to Lake Manyara/Tangire National Park. I think that is a good way to spend Christmas don't you?
Everyone asks if I am going to do a safari while I'm here. The answer is no. I just don't think now is the right timing. I don't want to rush it or do it to cheaply. I'd also prefer not to go alone so I think that will be a future trip. Of course I always take for granted that I will be back in Tanzania.
It is about 3am here so I am tired and need to go to bed but I hope you are all enjoying a lovely Christmas Eve with family and friends.
