I have had an action packed week! Last Thursday some students from America arrived and camped in my backyard. They will be in Tanzania for a semester and were very interested in everything around them. The staff and teachers were so welcoming and friendly that I was able to mooch 5 meals off of them, including FISH! Napenda samaki. Stephen anajua. I kind of had a reality check, as I have been getting more and more confident in my Swahili, but I realized that my Swahili conversations are really limited by the words I know. It was so nice to have intelligent conversations about conservation and sustainability without having to divert my focus to translating.
So the company was absolutely fabulous and I enjoyed every minute. They left this morning and the camp staff just finished packing and are loading into their car as well. I am left with only the whistle of the wind. However, I have decided to divert all my lonely energy into work. I have a to-do list that would make me cringe at home, but it is worse here because I would much rather go to the waterhole and enjoy my surroundings.
