This next phase of my project is really going to be the meat of my data so it has been rather exciting to get going. I have really enjoyed the whole process of beginning with small talk and progressing to asking if they would be willing to help with my research. The participants continue to offer me produce from their crops or roasted corn or potatoes and almost always, chai. This week I drank my first cup of coffee as the hostess apologized and explained the abundance of coffee from the recent harvest. Of course, many Americans would probably not even call it coffee, as there was probably more sugar water than actual coffee particles. It was not bad but I for one prefer the Masai chai with fresh milk and the smoky aftertaste. Of course, Masai chai is served with the condition that at least one of your feet is touching livestock manure.
