Last day of baiting, and this morning we cover a bit of politics – my field assistants are very excited as the possibility of Obama becoming President. The running joke is that a Luo, the Kenyan minority tribe of Obama’s father, will be president in the US before Kenya. He wonders what time is it in the US right now and when I travel from the US if I can take a direct flight to Nanyuki.

Work on MN – VT roadtrip details. Try to work in a stop in Chicago to visit a good friend’s HS biology class to chat about the Kenya trip. Enjoy a great dinner at couple’s house. Homemade pizza and cold beers. Real cheese and great spices. Sooo fat and happy.
