Well, finally last night we were all able to meet Allen’s demu (girlfriend) Vivian. We had heard so much about her and even had talked to her on the phone. She is a lovely girl and how she puts up with Allen is beyond me! Just kiddin’ rafiki yangu!
After class, it was decided that we would all head to Allen’s place for dinner and socializing. Plus, it was Allen’s brother’s last night in Iringa. Some of us walked and others drove. Not all can be held in the precious Panda.
I was very excited to finally be going to Allen’s home. It was such a great honor to me. He told us immediately to feel right at home and we did! I was lounging on the couch with Ally and Chris was sitting on the bed with Allen and Vivian and Ally #2 Allen’s brother kept coming in and out.
We started playing music and eventually we got around to playing Sublime and Vivian and Ally were braiding Chris and I’s hair. Allen was busy wearing Chris’ sunglasses and pretending to be Jay-z. Then there was some dancing evolved. Ally really enjoyed the smooth groove of Sublime. And ladies if you could see him dance – he is quite a natural. All this time, Allen’s brother was preparing a delicious meal.
When it was finished, we all sat down on the floor with the food in the middle, Allen prayed and then we began to eat. We were laughing, joking, listening to music, enjoying wonderful food, eating with our hands and just having a blast. I cannot tell everyone enough, it has been such a blessing meeting Ally and Allen. They are two of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Chris and I instantly bonded with the two of them. It is like we have known each other our whole lives and I am already anticipating seeing them again next year in Iringa, Tanzania on the beautiful continent of Africa.
