Kenya and Tanzania

From February to May I'll be studying abroad in East Africa. The work will be exciting, and the exploring unforgettable, but unfortunately I won't be able to keep in touch with everyone on a regular basis. I'll be out with the monkeys, giraffes, elephants and many others...and for that reason I'll have very limited phone and internet access. So while I'm away, feel free to follow my blog, and read about what I'm up to!

This is our Land Cruiser one day during data collection for DR. It rains a lot at night, and we unfortunately got stuck pretty bad. For the first time we all had to get out of the car and help push...
We had just gotten out of the car, and were about to start figuring out how the vehicle should be pushed out.
A good view of what we were really stuck in.

I'm all the way to the left. I was lucky enough to be standing in front of the tire, so that when our driver tried to move the vehicle a bunch of mud was thrown all over me by the spinning wheel. At first it was gross, but after a little while it got pretty funny.

Here we are after successfully freeing the Land Cruiser.

This is my friend Alex with one of the kids at the orphange.

Me with two little ones at the orphanage.

Some of the kids at the orphanage that were watching us perform a song and dance for them after they sang a song for us!
I'm sorry I haven't had much to say lately! I know I'm behind on a post. Today we had a day off after eight days of data collection for Directed Research. I've basically been going out everyday/all day to watch baboons. It gets pretty tiring. The next few days we will be working on data analysis, and will start writing our papers. I can't believe I only have two and half weeks left. Time has been flying by. Enjoy the pictures, and I'll try to catch everyone up soon. Hope alls well at home!
