So I've made it. After a grueling flight from Seattle I have finally arrived in Amsterdam. In a continent where you are expected to pay the janitor,I am not surprised that they only allocate you an hour of free wifi. Sitting in the D terminal Starbucks I feel strangely at home. Maybe its because Im in a Starbucks or because almost everyone speaks english but either way Im relaxed. I strolled down to an Irish pub and had a pint of Guinness and some scrabbled eggs. Oddly enough i didn't meet one Irishman but rather a multitude of different Scotts all with diverse and different dialects.
In the last ten hours I have not slept once and I plan to on this next leg. But right now with an Americano in my hand Im only thinking about my next month. I opened my itinerary and discovered that after a nice night in a hotel in Arusha I head to an orphanage for 10 days. Finally I get to experience what my brother did in India, even though its on a smaller scale. Wish me luck. I will write all of you again once i arrive in Tanzania.
