Obama! Obama! Obama! Today we went to Arusha, bright and early to watch the polls come in. We went to the International Conference Center in Arusha. It was for American citizens only, so you had to flash a passport on the way in. We were able to sneak in a tanzanian and a few canadiens however. It was weird being surrounded by white people for that long after the last week or so. It really is incredible how much hype Obama gets over here. There were basically parties all over the place after he had won. After that we had a little adventure in Arusha. I am a little pressed for time today, but basically it involves a group of five mzungus getting lost in Arusha, developing a posse of Tanzanian children, crossing 4 rivers, running through clothes lines and some how finding our way back home. I will provide details upon request. After that little adventure we grabbed some lunch. Had a burger, or something that was titled a burger. It's kinda funny, my last 3 meals here have been a hot dog, chinese food (which was absolutely incredible!) and a burger. See Africa's not so different. Anyways, kinda pressed
for time today, have to write the exam for chemistry tonight. Should be interesting. Gonna try to add some more pictures today too. Have fun, hope you're well!
