If you were to ask me where I was right now, I would have a hard time telling you a definite answer. Africa is surely the correct location, but there is something about saying "I'm in Africa" that I just can't believe. Everything is so surreal, each sound, sight, and smell is foreign. Sitting on the deck of the African Sunstar resort, I can look to the west and see mountains shrouded in mist, the south and see fields of corn, maybe coffee, and to the west, Karatu in the distance, the entire sky covered in thick, rolling clouds. This place is amazing. Even the 'pigeons' are beautiful, gray with pink and white spots, and the sound they make resembles that of a thin tin sheet wobbling in the wind.

Until next time,
Michael
