We received the news this morning that Obama won the election! People are very happy about it here, as am I. I do feel as though I can’t fully partake in the celebration though, partly because I don’t have any money for booze and I feel bad asking people for some and partly because for the last several months since the end of May I have been cut off pretty thoroughly from all news and the Internet. It will be nice to get back to America so that I can spend some quality time ‘catching up’ on contemporary politics so that I can understand the depth of all that happened today better. I know that marijuana was completely legalized in Colorado and potentially in Washington, too, and that Puerto Rico applied for statehood.
I’ve only seen Beth for 5 of the past 163 days of my life. I miss her tremendously!
Tonight we celebrated our time here and the wonderful help we have received from our Tanzania staff by going to the Olasiti Inn and having a goat feed. We went there in the evening and ate a good meal all together. I sat in between Kibaja, the on hand biologist, and Walter aka Don Johnson, one of our Nyayo drivers. It was great, with good conversation about America’s recent election and lots of goat meat, which tasted fine. Afterwards we all danced, with Leboy and Walter doing their best moves, especially to the Tanzanian hit ‘Chop My Money.’ Another driver, Hef and Titus each gave a great speech saying thanks and of how they have enjoyed their time with us. It was all very inspiring, especially when Titus said something like, “It’s not the data you collect here that matters, but the process you do, the interactions you have, and the experience overall; those are what make us grow.”
