This is the exact text of the sheet of paper we were given today explaining our safari next week (I swear the spelling/grammar errors aren't mine!) Sounds pretty awesome doesn't it?
FYI: All of the costs of this were included in our program fees so it's an all expenses paid trip unless I buy beer or souvenirs or whatever. CIEE is still probably making money off of us from this, but I'm still glad to be going.

Scott, you're definitely not suffering from boredom or any shortage of emotional experiences! Whether it's a new culture, different weather, what I'll calll the "parallel universe" or "where in the hell am I?" concept, you surely are immersed in a totally alien environment.
Years ago Mary and I went to a soccer game in Athens, and the similarities to your game are striking, from the allegiance of the locals to thier club, the intensity of the rivalries, and the crush of humanity all around us. Luckily we didn't feel or experience any of the bad vibes that seemed so prevalent at your venue.
Remembering my first days in college, I was also overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness when trying to figure out my schedule, so I guess that's a universal problem, even thirty years later.
Regardless of when you return to the states, I'm confident that the memories of your time in Africa will provide you with a number of mental and emotional references that you'll use to great advantage later in life.
So stay positive, remember that it's a crazy world out there (tell your lady friends not to carry purses!), and after all is said and done you'll emerge wiser and more aware than the average global resident. Keep up the blogs and know we all love you, Dave and Mary
