The One With The Kafule Night Life (10/6/2012)

Last night Dahlia and I went over to our neighbor, Mr. Mbughi’s house.  We hung out for a while, drank some tea and talked.  At about 10:00 (right around our bed time) Dahlia and I were ready to head home.  “Oh no,” said Mr Mbughi, “it is time to go to the church.”  Apparently there is a weekend long service going on.  And so to the church we went.  It was awesome! There were a bunch of men and women dancing (picture a cotton eyed joe style dance but much more intricate and much longer), liturgical prayers, and the most beautiful hymns (which they accompanied with an exceptionally resounding base, they had brought in a generator which powered speakers and one light bulb that dimmed with each pulse of the base).  It was so wonderful.  I saw tons of my students there as well as Elizabeth.  Apparently night life does occasionally make its way to Kafule.
