And neighbors

Two nights ago I was sprawled on my bed watching “30 Rock” waiting for friends to get their eyeliner on straight for after-work cocktails at Doga when I heard this

chi-i-iii-irp
chirp scra-aaa-atch

gurgle chi-ii-irrup

sound which just kept repeating until finally I got up to check and there was a little tiny baby


in my room.

Lake Kivu has crabs swimming around in it. Who knew.

Hi S! I only have about 3 weeks left here... but I am really hoping/trying to find a position here so I can stay longer.

We should meet up for coffee before I leave -- I'd like to put a face to the initial! :o)
