		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve probably heard that Barack Obama&#8217;s father is from Kenya, so there&#8217;s a sort of Obama-mania around here.  Here&#8217;s how most of my conversations go with the locals:

Local: &#8220;Do you think Obama will win?&#8221;
Me: &#8220;Yes, but I&#8217;m not going to vote for him.&#8221;
 Local: &#8220;What? Why not?&#8221;
Me: &#8220;Why should I vote for him?&#8221;

Well I&#8217;m home from my East African tour now.  It feels good to be back in Tala after fifteen days of absence, especially since I estimate I&#8217;ve sat on five or six buses for a total of around fifty hours in the last two weeks.  I was happy to see that everything was still in [...]]]></description>
