In Africa and safe!

Jambo! We arrived after a grueling some two days of traveling through crazy airports and countless time zones. When we got to the airport a cute little man had a "KIA lodge" sign. We went with him and it seemed relatively safe...dont freak out parents...this is us typing...we are alive!
The lodge is adorable and as Kasey describes it, "african" lol. Kasey slept the whole night through with a make shift blanket...wait she did wake up once to have a small snack, thanks Grandma Jan! The bed was a huge king size bed with flowers waiting for us..how romantic! haha.
I however, did not sleep because oddly I was feeling scared. Usually I am so brave because I know I always have my ninja skills but last night lying in the hot in a little lodge hut in the middle of Africa just didnt settle well. I finally fell asleep around 6 am African time and when I woke up everything seemd much better!
We went to the cute cafe where we hesitantly chose food that fit the sayings criteria, "hot food or fruit peeled by you". We had our first banana too! If you dont already know, apparently there are 120 different kinds of bananas in Tanzania and we plan to try all of them, also we both do not like bananas that much, but hey it makes for interesting blog updates.
So, banana number one conquered: Sugar banana!
We have no idea how to treat the people or how much to tip them but they are all extremely nice and either think we are too or that we are rich dumb americans...either way they are treating us well.
We are about to go sit in the lobby to wait for the CCS people to come get us, we are exctied to meet the other volunteers and get aquainted with our "home away from home"
Writing with tons of love and excitment!
