Amsterdam

I'm currently sitting in one of the nicest and silliest airport lounges I've ever seen. The chairs are basically squares with blue or lime green fabric with wooden barriers in between them and no back rest. Many people of all shapes and sizes have configured themselves to fit into this awkward cube of space. There are also bookshelves with televisions in them, a playground for children, and special chairs with ipads. This is all in the main hallway of the terminal. The flight over was pretty good. I nustled into a window seat and only got up once because the nice old man in the aisle threatened to charge me 10 dollars if I woke him up again. A pleasant surprise was the vegetarian meal - Indian food mmmmm.

The sun is rising here. In a few hours, I'll be on a plane to Kilimanjaro airport. Eek. So excited. For the first week of the program we will be camping in Western Kilimanjaro for orientation. I  have no idea what to expect and I'm happy about that. Will probably be out of touch for a while. Lots and lots of love.
