Kwa Heri Zanzibar!

Just a quick message- I am leaving in a few hours to head back to the states. I will be flying from Zanzibar,to Dar, to Nairobi, to London, and finally to Dulles Airport, Washington DC!!! I will be arriving sometime on Wednesday. Its going to be a very long trip back with long layovers and flights, but at least I will have friends with me to keep me entertained :) I am honestly not really looking forward to going back to the US at this point and the transition and culture shock. Zanzibar has really become my home. I am starting to get good at swahili, have made lots of friends with the locals here and have really gotten used to life here. None the less, I am VERY excited to see all of my friends and family, and my dog. I am also excited to eat cheese and bacon (which can not be found on this island), and to take a hot shower (i think i have taken 3 hot showers here-haha). I will post once more when i get back to fill you in on how i spent my last few days in Zanzibar :)

Hope to see some of you soon!

love,
Emily
