last night i had a dream that i looked at my calendar and it said "Ma 9" and i panicked 'cause i thought we were leaving kenya already, 'cause it was may 9th. and i was sad. i thought i hadn't bought anyone any presents and i never made it to lamu and in my dream i was concerned. then it dawned on me that we hadn't gone to the field yet so there was no way we were leaving. and it must have said march 9th, not may. point being that i'm happy enough here that the thought of leaving already was disturbing. i wish i could share it with you, it would be nice if you were here. but in the meantime, it's pretty damn awesome.

here, as slang, they call vegetarians mbogotarians ('cause mbogo is vegetable). that's priceless.

good work, world.
