Don't Upset the Rhythm

It's 6 am. We're climbing Mount Kenya today. Last night we had dinner at Jean Claude's house. Amazing smoked lamb. It was alive earlier in the day. On Christmas they butchered the chickens we ate for dinner in the morning outside the house. Dahlia's mom uses every part of the chicken. We even saved the eggs from inside their bellies. Wine-fueled debate about the nuclear family vs. society and poverty reduction. Naiema started calling my Taunti or Aunt. :) I really like African culture. It's not nearly as individualistic as white culture. There's good and bad but I like it. They dance a lot, eat a lot and are touchy-feeling. Perfect.
