Jordan is in Southern Tanzania

Yep.  They made it to Southern Tanzania after driving for nearly 12 hours on crazy ridiculous dirt roads through one of Tanzania's most beautiful National Parks!!  I talked to Jordan again last night and they were just beginning their Wednesday.  He said that when they were in Moshi, Tanzania (in Northern Tanzania) they stayed at a more Western-style hostel, but now they are definitely in an African-style hostel.  One of the first things he told me was that he pooped in a hole for the first time!  Real exciting, huh?  Also, he said that somehow the shower is right next to the hole you use to go to the bathroom, so if you're not careful, you might fall in while you're showering!  That doesn't sound so sanitary, now does it?  And he said unlike the first hostel, this one has brown, muddy water, so it's kind of weird to bathe in it.

Apart from telling me about their new living quarters, he didn't have too much to say.  They had been driving all day the day before, and got in just before night-fall.  Basically, they got settled and ate and went to bed.  Not too much news to report, but today, they were planning on going to visit some of the high schools built and run by Village Schools International (www.villageschools.org).  Oh, and I almost forgot: he met a girl who was a year behind me at Whitworth.  He said her name is Ashley and that she lived in Warren her first year and Boppell her second year.  I'm almost sure I know who she is, and I think she knows who I am, but Jordan didn't know her last name, so I can't be positive.  But how crazy is that!?!?  Jordan goes to Tanzania with The Hope Project, ends up driving 12 hours to visit Village Schools International and meets a girl who went to Whitworth at the same time we did!  That's INSANE!!  What are the chances??

So, other than that, like I said, there isn't much news to report.  Jordan's doing well.  Hasn't gotten sick yet - let's pray he doesn't get sick at all...and he seems happy and like he's having a great time.  After all, he is on quite the adventure!
