Found this blog by accident and want to know who the studly, world-saving, sophisticated and suave author is? This is the page under which you can do it! Here you can forget about such mundane features of travel in Tanzania and the International Crimunal Tribunal for Rwanda and focus instead on the minutae of my life.

Arusha Rivers to the Head 
Chris Rivers, you are by far the funniest and most nerdiest (sexy nerdy of course) boy I know. Keep with the updates, it will make my daycare worker life seem less mundane 🙂
Be safe.
Umm… so I can’t say I really expect anything less, but I do have to say you’re a crazy, brave-ass MoFo. Nothing less.
There are a total of 23 caches in all of Tanzania. I checked for you. Further, there are none closer than 25km from Arusha. However… there is one at the Uhuru peak of Kilimanjaro… and I know you’re a go-getter 😛
Good luck!
On the face you appear to be one lucky fellow but when you get home read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and tell me if you agree with his thesis.
Rivers!
How the hell are you? haha.
What is your facebook address? Can’t find you anywhere. Add me, my name should be Matthijs + last name.
How are things in Canada? I’m back in Holland and it’s just awesome!! Let me know how you are.
Cheers
