Obama!

Asking "How are you?", exchanging names and agreeing that we all love Barack Obama have been absolutely crucial to making friends here in Kenya. President Obama's father was a member of the Luo tribe, today residing primarily in western Kenya near Lake Victoria. Our driver this weekend, Stephen Ogot, was proud to play this track a couple of times on our way to Kerio View.

Interestingly, we've been told that even though most/all Kenyans love Barack Obama, he probably wouldn't win an election here in Kenya... it appears tribalism runs quite deep.
