AR goes to Africa

2006-08-10T08:05:00.001-07:00

hi all, greetings from padova italy!for those of you that remember, this is where i did my study abroad program 10 years ago. but ana, you look so young, i know i know! anyways, i entertain myself and we move on. first i want to say that i am safe and sound, but a little freaked out due to the attempted terrorist attack on the planes in london. i'm flying out of that very airport on those exact planes. they say that after these attempts, it's the safest time to fly, so please pray for allthe people flying and all the people that have been innocently killed because of politicians, power, and money. it all boils down to power right, however they try to masquerade it. so far a fun entry, right?

anyways, have been having a great time. last time i wrote i was in sardegna with rums, and then we spent a night in pisa and had to say goodbye. she's now home safe and sound. i impulsively took the train to cinque terre in liguria before coming here. these cinque terre and 5 mtn beach towns that are connected through a hiking path and train. needless to say i hiked and was huffing and puffing. this hike is no joke, but beautiful. luckily i got the stop and swim and eat good food along the way. i was by myself, but i've met lots of cool people along the way, including a woman who worked at vogue in milano and had all these stories about armani,etc, a countess, a gay brazilian guy who was so cool, 2 american girls from long beach traveling for the first time (ah, me, 10 years ago), etc. no problems at all. we even had an all street brazilian party that traveled to different piazzas. that was such a blast. of course everyone thinks i'm brazilian!

so, got to padova, my 3rd home. the place where i could say really became myself. you know, the one that evryone who is reading this loves, as it should be!:) modesty has never been one of my best qualities, but joking around has, so go with it. :) anyways, nice to see luca and his mom again. haven't even gone into padova, bc came to his work first to email and blog and read on internet.

anyways, more to come, but always with lots of love and some joles in the mix for fun!

saluti dell'italia! yes, greetings from italy in italian. i love italy!!! it feels so good to be in my 3rd home. like i mentioned earlier i'm with rums and now we are in sardinia (one of the big islands off southwest of mainland italy, no not sicily though). anyways, once again in paradise. have to say this may be one of the most beautiful beaches i have ever seen in my life! big statement, but i mean it. not just clear turquoise water, but cobalt blue and grottoes, and you just think it can be real, like a pool, but can't be real. amazing! however, the salt is so much, my eyes are burning. your body is full of salt you can see and even my hair looks like i spilled salt in it. never seen anything like it.

of course another adventure to get here with us being stranded in the airport for awhile and blah blah blah. well, life is good and sometimes there's irritating moments that later maek good stories. staying in this little apartment, just us. perfect. gotta go, but sending much much love.

un bacione(big kiss),
ana rosa

hi all, greetings from amsterdam! even better, with my wife rumin! hanging out in a cofee shop now trying not to fall asleep after the yummy indonesian food. so good! all about choices and variety, love it!

things ended nicely in paris thanks to my generous host, jenny (old roomie from boston) and her finance fabien. last couple of days went to my favorite museum in the world, musee d'orsay. we kept taking breaks and have gotten into the habit of 2nd lunch, as well as cocktail hour. oh, life is oh so hard! why me?:) hate me yet?:)

we went to giverny to monet's house and saw his beautiful gardens with lilly pond. amazing to be in the same place that inspired so many of my favorite works of art. i can stare at it forever, it just makes me happy.

not so happy things include feet are crazy swollen, walking around like crazy looking for chocolate bar that is closed for summer holidays, and waking up early for train trip. c'est la vie. got lots of pix that i'll try to post soon.

love to all,
ar.

2006-07-24T14:24:00.000-07:00

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....

2006-07-11T01:32:00.000-07:00

greetings from denmark! yes, apparently greetings from....is gonna be my trademark on this blog. it makes me feel like a postcard! ha ha ha anyways, at aarhus, denmark. itøs the 2nd largest city in denmark, but what iøve seen so far looks like hansel and gretel. will this look at all like solvang, only time will tell...arrived yesterday and had to sleep in the airport for an hour bc my friend was late. no worries, i´m used to the homeless loook. good thing i had my kitenge (sort of sarong) i was using for pj/towel/now blanket. you know i love things that have multi uses!:)

day in london was cool. walked along the thames river to the national gallery and was a little disappoined bc 2 rooms of impressionism were closed, my favorite! still saw some good ones and will get a lot more in on this trip. plan on going to the van gough museum in amsterdam and the musee d´órsay in gay paris!

just looked out the window and itøs all trees like a forest! so nice and clean and technologically advanced! definetly not in dar anymore....still need to process that one....

so, we were going to the beach, but it was raining earlier, so maybe we,ll go the movies or something. haven,t been the movies in ages....love the movies!

take care,
me

2006-07-09T13:27:00.000-07:00

greetings from london! what? london? yes, london:) i know the blog is called ar goes to africa, but ar went to africa and now ar is traveling around europe. just in london for the nite and off to denamark tomorrow. what does a girl do in london for a nite and 1/2 a day? for starters meet an old ukranian ex soccer player and some spanish girls. staying a youth hostel and yes i realize i'm also 32! ha! that being said, should i start going into how i almost didn't leave the country. literally was one of the last people on the plane. ok, i let my visa expire. my fault, take full responsibility for that one, but then blah blah blah tried to get it fixed on the holiday (saba saba-july 7th-saba means 7 in swahili-one of the few words i know-how many tangents was that?)anyhow, someone in my ngo knows someone in the airport and supposedly everything was all good, and what a surprise, it wasn't! oh god, it was all about the bribe, but bc i don't speak swahili i really had no idea what was going on. total nightmare, stomache completely in knots, but here and can't believe it's over. don't want to get to into it, bc i'm not ready, but needless to say it was heartbreaking to say goodbye to the kids and then telling me no auntie, no america! ay! be looking out for how to continue helping, bc this is just the beginning of me being a part of these kids future. lucky you, you get to be a part of it too! more of that once i get back home and settled. i'll still try to keep up with this, so be looking out for more adventures.

love,
me

2006-07-01T10:11:00.000-07:00

hey all...still sandy from kipepeo beach, but thought i'd send a quick hello. i'll be taking the kids there on saturday, so i thought i'd check it out first. you know, take one for the team!:) it was beautiful, almost zanzibar, but not quite. i rode a camel! yes, you read that correctly, rode a camel! i was so cool and really scary actually. jerky movements and i screamed getting down. some people have said i've been known to be dramatic. who are these people?:)

i took the kids to the water park last week and they loved it and are still asking about it. yeah, it's not happening again, but they are excited about the beach. it takes 3-4 buses and a ferry, but they should get a chance to ride a camel too. i know they'll love it. i'm excited.

other news is that my friend got her phone stolen at a club on friday. good times. also, we went for traditional african dance, and got there to only see 2 songs. losers! oh well, another time, another place.

other than that, it stopped raining and things are good. my girlfriends are leaving tomorrow, so i'll be solo once more...luckily i have a lot of things to do this week. gotta print pix for kids, get money to program, thanks to all my gracious and generous friends and family:). it wil be put to very good use. the first thing will be for school fees for the older kids.

gotta run.

much love,
ar.

2006-06-25T06:06:00.000-07:00

just a quick quick quickie to say i'm in bagamoyo, the o.g. capital of tanzania for a beach weekend. filled with lights going out for a day and no disco, long bike ride to ruins and museum, no cell phone n feel like being ripped of home bc of it!, some overcast weather (perfect for beach weekend!), and rude german woman i wanted to kill! ok, those i the highlights. more details v. soon.

with love,
ar.

2006-06-19T01:44:00.000-07:00

hi all, know it's been awhile. i have written (so read old posts), but they hate me n are having problems posting. good times. i mean if there weren't even a little mini drama in my life who would i be? what would my identity be?:) just finished talking to my honey so i'm in great spirits. yeah for hunny!:)

so i went on safari...serengeti national park, ngorgoro crater, and lake manyara. they were all national parks, we camped (my favorite!), woke up to watch the sunset, campfire, talked with lots of new people, and enjoyed the bumpy road to see lions, zebras, gazelles, impalas, elephants, giraffes, vultures, buffalos, wildebeasts, worthogs (did you know that worthogs are called pumbas, friends are called rafiki, and lions are called simbas-not just my niece's dog, but also the disney lion king!). anyways, it was amazing! not to mention, we saw lions feasting on a zebra and also on a wildebeast. so cool!!!! the scenary was breathtaking and the best part was it changed so much. some parts it was like rainforest, oh i almost forgot all the different types of monkeys-baboons, blue balled monkeys, and black monkeys, so cute!!! anyways, they was prarie, beautiful acacia and fig trees, mountains with brown earth and red earth. the best part is standing up in the car and taking it all in like that. oh, we saw hippos too, they're huge! oh my god, and crocodiles, so scary!

can't convey and pix are not uploading, but when i get home i'll hook you all up, promise. our guide totally sucked and didn't tell us anything, but it was still beautiful. we learned things with other guys while camping and then i went on a walking safari by myself (well, with a guide of course) to the foothills of mt. meru in arusha. now that was hard! started at 9 am and didn't get back 'til 7pm. could barely walk when returned bc all that damn hills. besides rosarito bike ride, the hardest physical challenge ive accomplished. we saw the entire city, went to see where the Masai lives, walked with cows and goats, and walked in a river (i love rivers, although freezing) saw the most amazing waterfalls.....fantasy island all the way.

bad trip back alone and was bitter and frustrated, but it's life, my life here sometimes anyways and you move on. back with the kids and they're wonderful. i missed them when i was away.

more for later....lots o love!

2006-06-06T09:42:00.000-07:00

'greetings from lake victoria, the 2nd largest lake in the world. going on safari on a couple of days to serengeti, arusha, and ngorogoro. so excited! came here with three danish girls and an american guy and met up with two doctors from holland. it was cool, we went to their little village where they are working and toured their little underdeveloped hospital. it was like "niagra en bicicleta" by juan luis guerra for all you merengue fans!:)all the people were so nice, they thought we were doctors too! that's where we saw our first rainbow lizard, so cool! they made a lovely garden picnic for us. it was so sweet! that was of course after being on the bus for 6 hours to the dodoma, the capital, and then the train for 26 hrs! yeah, and we could only lie down, we couldn't sit! the best part was we missed our stop, losers! and had to go by taxi the next day. we saw lots of goats n cows along the way.

anyways, here in mwanza we have been touring the lake and we took this little boat to an island that could've been jurassic park. deserted, it's called saa nane game reserve, but no one was there when we went and then we saw some impala (kinda like a gazelle) in the bushes. it's this very green place with these huge boulders and very popular for bird watching. sound exciting yet? it was really relaxing and the lake is like an ocean and you know i love the ocean! we saw a baby crocodile in the lake and had some good laughs over that one. sadly no one jumped in to see if there were any bigger crocodiles...oh well. there was adventure to be had, as there was a caged lion and we got to give it water. yes folks, i have water to a lion! everyone else also petted it, but i was too scared! can't help it, i'm a scaredy cat. wish me luck on the next leg in the journey which is safari for 4 days. we will be camping too, so that will add an extra adventure. yes, i will be careful, promise.

also, happy birthday to my mom today and claudia tomorrow. my parents and sister in law are helping me with this other drama going on that i won't go into, but will just say that it really helps to have a very supportive family. love them!

much love to all and hlep to be in touch soon!

2006-05-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

this entry should be called ar in paradise. ar is really in paradise. i'm in nunwi which is the north of zanzibar and we've been living in a postcard, delicious food, sun, pristine beaches with white powder sand and clear turquoise water. does that sound like the life i deserve or what? this is so much better than being ripped off and paying for the fast ferry and spending 9 hrs on the crap ferry. apart from everyone making fun of me bc i'm so american, it's perfect. sorry guys, i keep telling people that freakness has nothing to do with being american, but they insist. next time you're abroad and someone says some thing negative about americans, it might just be bc of my "ana rosaness". anyways, don't want to miss the sunset swim so, big kiss to all.

love,
ar in paradise

p.s.
n didn't even go into new friends, good laughs, hammock and stars n ah, perfection!

2006-05-27T08:51:00.000-07:00

hi all! so sorry that i don't have my camera cable bc a) this is the fastest connection since leaving the states, and b) would've loved to upload this amazing photo of sunset with old boats in zanzibar....so romantic. no, i like being without my hunny thanks for asking:)

not too much to report since yesterday however. went out to a nice dinner last nite and learned that freddy mercury from queen was born here in zanzibar. helpful fact for any future trivial pursuit games!:) hoping it will stop raining, bc will be going to the north to hang at beaches day after tomorrow. tomorrow doing a spice tour, and then prison island. snorkeling, exciting. am being bitten by mosquitos now, bc as soon as sun goes down those blood suckers come out full force. good times. still taking my malaria pills everyday of course. my friend (cause now i have them) got so bitten in her face last nite (slept on couch without mosquito net or repellent) that it looks like a rash and she's sick! just what you want in a vacation.

anyways, we've been staying in different places every nite. last nite we stayed with a friend of friend and they were so nice to basically let us take over their house (there's 6 of us now), but bc of the attack of the killer mosquitos we're staying at a cheap hotel. typically traveling stuff in groups, 1 person being grumpy, 1 person getting sick, and coordinating for food n stuff. i mean not horribly bad though. i've only met these people literally a couple of days ago. it's all good though. as many of you know, when you're abroad, you just get close to friends, bc you really just need them and you have this shared experience. it's really been really helpful for me to blow off steam and have people to have fun and travel with....even if we were on the sticky overcrowded ferry for 9 hrs or lost in a taxi for an hour! ay yay yay!

big kiss to all,
ar.

2006-05-26T01:16:00.000-07:00

jambo rafiki(hi friends)! adventure begins...in crowded internet cafe in zanzibar, bc why shouldn't it rain when you plan an beach trip and have been in 9 hr crowded dirty ferry where your friend (but thank god you've finally made a friend even though they're going back to denmark soon) stuff almost gets stolen by girls you've been hanging out with and sharing the entire hot voyage?:) ah, traveling, filled with so many anecdotes. traveling in africa is a whole other cup of tea (or chai as they say here). things are a lot better after spending time with the danish volunteers, so have people to go dancing, traveling with, and just speak and be understood. amazing concept! can't imagine how tiring it is to try to communicate all the time. al the time, really exhausting.

so know we are in stone town zanzibar. could say dirtier islamic venice. amzaing to bea ble to see this coulture. could've done without being awoken at 5 or so to the sounds of mosque inviting all to pray, but agian hakuna matata...go with the flow. everything in africa is hakuna matata. feel like could never get all stories out and just convey what it's like...so much happends and is sooooooooooooooo different! it'sa like nothing i've dreamed of b4.

good news is that in better spirits. still miss my honey though...'tis life. my life right now anywyas. almost a month. will be traveling for a while and next is lake victoria, serengeti (safari!), and arusha (hope to see kilimanjaro).

gotsta go, bc traveling in group and all, but sending love. pls. continue to send positive thoughts for us .

love,
ar.

2006-05-21T22:01:00.000-07:00

roller coaster...some days i'm ok, some days i'm bored, some days i find everything so fascinating, some days i'm homesick, all days i'm jr sick and then i got really sick. no malaria or anything, just a lil cold. i missed medical clinic this week bc of it, but i went to work with the notman's to raise money for the program by doing entertainment at a children's party. it was in this gorgeous hotel with an infinity pool and amazing ocean view. wow! i got preteens to dance and play games. who's gonna complain about that, i love dancing! they even played the shakira song. you know the world is becoming a more colombia friendly place! yeah for colombia!

i've been teaching the kids in tabata how to dance salsa, merengue, and carnaval music, bc this girl needs to exercise and i like teaching them something they'll have. may be teaching english at a local elementary, but haven't looked into yet.

may be going to zanzibar on thurs and then go to lake victoria and the serengeti on safari. long vacation, but i'll be back to work. probably make it to the internet cafe b4 i go.

that's the scoop, see pix. most are from my walk to the the buses, but also the kids in the house, the house, and kibwana. he's the one who lives in the house too.

kiss to all. feel free to write and share your anecdotes with me or send a friendly text message

2006-05-21T11:38:00.000-07:00

too bad, so sad, but no pix in that last post. i've been trying for over an hour to upload...either blogger sucks, this computer sucks, or life sucks. either way, i'm tired, want a shower and am going to bed...another time, another place...

2006-05-17T01:45:00.000-07:00

les mando un saludo en espanol para que los que no lean en ingles, pero ya casi se me acaba el tiempo en el internet cafe...estoy bien. me mude a mi casa con los ninos que tienen hiv. son 5 y son carinosos y basicamente les brindo amor y ellos me ensenan swahili y yo el ingles. es mucho para acostumbrarme, pero sigo con el empeno de seguir adelante. creo que si se parece como a un barrio pobre de colombia, pero para remate no hablo el idioma asi que necesito de otros hasta que aprenda...

los quiero y escribanme pronto...

any

2006-05-17T01:25:00.000-07:00

i'm in my new home...tabata. sorry, no pix, but coming soon...well, i have my little quarters with cement floor, sleeping under a mosquito net, but it's nice to have my own space. ok, i have to get out and go into the main house if i want the toilet, but i'm still in africa after all!:)

i've living with 5 kids that have hiv, 3 boys and 2 girls. the youngest girl is 5 and her name is mboni and the oldest boy is 12 and his name is erick. the other kids are johnny, laurin, zufla. i'll definetly take tons of pix of them! mama agnes also lives there and she's also a nurse. they also call her bibi or grandmother. they call me auntie or auntie rose. yet, another alias!:) they are very affectionate, which we all know i love! they are teaching me swahili and i am teaching them english. kibwana also lives in the house and he was the once nice enough to take me on the bus to the internet cafe. sounds easy? don't be fooled. it's like camping, but i actually live here! over the hills and through the woods to the bus stop. oh, and the buses....never had an adventure like this b4. you saw the last pix, but you didn't get the smell, beyond lack of personal space, and yesterday i didn't have a seat going to the medical clinic, pasada. crazy, it's funded my italians in padova of all places! what are the odds?? anyways, my body is contorted every way bc the dalla dalla (bus) is a minibus. too much! i stretch when i get home and move on. i've never loved water more...never loved a lot of things more actually. i love cell phones, and internet, and variety in food, and family and friends, and the list goes on and on.

anyways, other anecdotes include the way the kids pray-like a baptist revival on the floor and everything! yet another sight to see.

adjusting ok though all in all. just need to get used to things and make friends and everything. kids are so great. we even play what time is it mr. wolf and think of ready by 5!

take care and sending you love from tz!
ar.

2006-05-13T12:17:00.000-07:00

just eating some homemade popcorn and getting ready to watch a movie...leaving this home to go the home with the kids that are hiv+. won't really be able to internet as much, so hopefully you guys can live with out my anecdotes as frequently. feel fee to stay in touch on the celly.

sooooooooo, went out last nite for a nite out in dar. very euro have to say. bc it's been raining so much it is so ridiculously muddy that i feel like i'm already on safari. sad news about that is that it's like $100 a day! yikes! i may be looking into doing a little bit of traveling soon with some of the danish volunteers. yea for traveling!

anyways, funny quotes from yesterday include the tanzanian guy that wanted some of my gum and put in grrrrr in aggressive! hilarious! good thing i've been going to salsa clubs all my life and know how to handle ridiculous men. so the people i was with were the kids of this family and the girl is 16 and the guy is 25, but ok let's go, i'm in dar right. i'm young at heart, right? they're telling me to say i'm 18. ok, i'm 18. it was a lot of fun and met kids from all over the world.

went back to mburuhati today, where the kids are orphans bc their parents died of aids. we went in bus and again with the mud. it was so nasty in the "bus station" with the flip flops. i have not managed to be wearing the right shoes for one day i sware! the buses are from 1902. they make the buses in colombia look like mercedes i sware. anyways, we did the children's program and the kids taught me to sing this totally cute kiswahili song. i taught them america the beautiful. you know, 'cause i'm so patriotic!:) it was fun though. everything is just such an adventure. everyday life is just such an adventure and it's so amazing how slower paced everything needs to be here.

anyways, here's some pix of the latest and the greatest...

p.s.
pix of me coming soon, promise

p.s.
also became spanish teacher to the kids and may even become salsa teacher to rich ex-pat kids for more fabulous lifestyle!

2006-05-09T12:49:00.000-07:00

hey all, quick post with no pix. i did take a shower today (those lovely euro showers with just the handle), and finally washed my hair (we only know how often i wash it at home), but now if look like heidi with the 2 braids. b4 i was looking particularily hot with a bird's nest of knots! seriously i could've had dreads in a few more days! not my best moments!

no work news, as it was raining nob-stop today and we didn't make it into the city. i did however go the the movies tonight and saw mi3. way to take one for the kids! ha! plenty of time to get down and dirty later...

these are the latest pix. most are from the children's center in mburuhati and one is just from the street. so, still not sick, good stuff. yesterday was quite a day...we took the dala dala aka local bus at nite and can we just say that it looked like "city of god". if you haven't seen that brazilian movie, i highly recommend. so, we went there and did the children's program, which consisted of dancing and singing with kids. hello, i can do that! we also reviewed some english words. hey, i know english, i can do that too! if only i could learn kiswahili! i have so far learned numbers 1-10 and very very few words. it's so hard! this is no italian my friends!:) damn, and i thought i was so good at languages!

so, the bus ride was filled with being crammed in with people and apparently deodorant doesn't exist in this country! ha, fun fun fun...maybe i'll assimilate! how fun for everyone when come i home!:)

i'll be getting my sim card for my cell today and we are going to download a program to be able to talk over the internet. you know you wanna call me! keep ya in the loop....much love, ar.

escribi bastante en ingles, pero queria que vieran un poco de los ninos con la cual estamos trabajando. cantamos y bailamos con ellos y le ensenamos ingles. estoy tratando de aprender swahili, pero es full dificil. les mando much amor por aca y les pido que me escriban para saber de ustedes.
