Company... like it or not.

I have had some neighbors this week. It has been nice having people to talk to but at the same time, I could do without the generator and the bright lights! The campsite is for students that stay in Tanzania for the summer. These students are British. We had quite a time the other night at our “Silent Rave.” I was as confused as you are, so let me explain. First of all, they painted each other’s faces (quite well, I might add) and put on some really funky clothes and did their hair all funky- kind of like what you might look like on a mismatched day during spirit week in high school. The kicker and the reason for the name was when we all turned our iPods on and danced like crazy in the middle of a tick-laiden field under the Tanzanian stars! It was actually quite fun and a great way to ‘get-away’ a bit. Of course, their philosophy was if you can’t go to the party, bring the party to you! I admit, I only lasted about 10 minutes because at 9:30, it was already an hour past my bedtime! I am getting quite accustomed to rising and setting with the sun.
