AR goes to Africa

Just arrived to Tanzania to volunteer at Friends of Tanzania working with kids diagnosed with HIV. Miss you all already...but have Curious George and Winnie the Pooh to keep me company. What? I'm 31, what's your point?:)

hey all, greetings from boiling hot paris! wow, what a crazy heat wave! back to 2 showers a day like in dar. just like the first winter in europe, what no showers a day! ha ha all those who knew me when and still make fun of me will get a kick out of that one. didn't wash the hair though, let's not get crazy!:)

had a crazy last day in copenhagen. after days of grilling with friends of pernille, tour of copenhagen on boat, meeting back up with line, having a picnic in the park with annette, shopping at h & m (god bless it, when are they going to open one up in l.a.?), and waking up every day crazy late, breakfasts on the balcony, my last day ended with literally running to make it to the train, bc we just had to have these traditional danish cakes! they were damn good though! but once again, barely missing getting left by a mode of tranportation. yeah for me!

took a 15 hr train ride to paris and jenny (aka old roomate from grad school in boston) met me. we've been having a good time reminscing (did i spell that correctly?) and went off to do some of her wedding prep in the town where her in laws live. so now we have a city outside of paris called amiens with traditonal french meals of courses and courses and long live the cheese! we hung out there and did the sit out by the outdoor cafe and have a beer by the river and frankly i never get tired of how cute things are here. it's all about enjoying life. i'm all about that, thus i like it here!:)

we also did this floating garden thing in amiens, where we sat in a canoe and saw all these beautiful gardens. very sweet.

got back to paris and first stop was watching tour de france. pretty cool and got some video of that.

today we just chilled, did some yoga, and shopped and may have even bought something spicy...ooh la la!:)

that's the scoop, until next time....
