coolest thing I have EVER SEEN!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, this is maybe the most exciting moment of my freaking life! For those of you that know me, you can understand how much I was FLIPPING OUT about this, for those of you who do not, I'm sure this says a lot about me...that I am a major dork and I have problems...

I'm sitting outside in the cafe at my little hotel, eating pizza and thinking about how totally American-ized parts of Tanzanian culture is. A week ago I thought I'd be saying good-bye to cheese for 10 months, but now I eating pineapple pizza in Arusha. I'm hanging out all by myself, because I cannot speak Swahili yet, so I have no friends. I am still a tourist...then I look up...there's a little creature walking across the wire that is connected to 2 small trees..I get up to see what kind of massive bug it is, BUT NO!! IT'S A FREAKING CHAMELEON!!!!!!!!! I am in the middle of this cafe at lunch time, it's not very busy, luckily because I was WAY too excited about this little 5" Chameleon!! I probably made some weird noise when I found it, cause the table of 6 next to me were staring as I ran back to my table to get my little camera & drag a chair over to him to take a picture. He was so close, but yet so far away...I wish SO BADLY that I could have reached him, cause I would not be writing this blog right now...I'd be hanging out with my new little Chameleon best friend! ♥ ♥ ♥
ohgod ilovehimsomuch!
