Didn't do terribly much today. The highlight of today might have been the pizza we had at lunch. Mpala's kitchen staff has a unique and often entertaining set of descriptors for the food they serve. Sometimes they are in Swahili, like Ndengu (mung bean stew, delicious), chapati (also delicious), or kienyeji (a mixture of all of the leftover food from the last three days. Seriously, it's just all stirred up together and served like a stew. Sub-delicious). There are also regular English entrees, which on occasion make sense. Today, it was "pizza veg meat." The pizza veg was pretty good, and the pizza meat was fantastic. I think it had sliced hot dogs in it. Occasionally, the syntax or spelling is such that you can only conclude that we are being served hilarity for dinner. Rubbeb crable was one of the best-named desserts, I think (we are pretty sure that it was Rhubarb crumble, but perhaps it was a rubber cable. Or, maybe it was just rubbeb crable). The brand of ice cream they have here, "Ooh! Ice Cream," might be the most fun to announce, though. I do love things with exclamation points! The world would be better with more exclamation points!

One thing I did do today was remember that I have a few backlogged blog entries left from the mammals course. I'll put those up as well.
