Party ndogo

Well, yesterday was the party, but since my neighbors and I were working so hard we really didn't even realize it was a party until it was over. So today, they prepared the guts of the second goat with more bananas in a stew and we had it for lunch. I wouldn't reccommend it after my dawa from yesterday. In fact, I wouldn't reccommend it even for a stomach of steel. After lunch, they came to my house and we looked at pictures from the party and then we had our own little photo shoot. I realized that one downfall of not having another student to train in is that I didn't have a designated photographer and therefore don't have a lot of pictures of me with my friends. So, here are a few of my favorite people on the ranch. This is Kassoni and my cat. Actually, I only posted it because it is such a good picture of the cat. Lucky! This is Kassoni and me: Here is me, Maxi, and the cat: And me and Maxi who has looked out for me the most out of anyone here: In fact, he seems to be personally hurt when the elephants don't show up at the waterhole and I am not getting data. He has been a great friend providing hours of company and many cups of chai. He taught me how to make uji so that I could feed myself on Sunday when Rose has the day off. Every time I make uji I will always think of him. In fact, most of my memories of Tanzania will be about Maxi and the laughs we have had together.

Where are Nyama and the black kitty?

Nyama went to Rose's house and the black cat went to the manager's house. This one is going to Jimmy's house when I leave but when I tried to say goodbye early I got very lonely. He is great company.
