Obama's Inauguration, on Al Jazeera

Tonight Matt and I have rented a hotel room in Kigoma to watch Obama's Inauguration, and to enjoy a bit of a vacation from village life. The A.C. turns on but doesn't really work, the fan is broken, the power has only cut out once so far, we cant get the shower to work, and we have to share a full sized bed, but we bought a ton of heavily processed, hard-traveled junk food in the market and our tv is at least a fifteen incher and it gets 7 very clear channels, so this will probably be a pretty sweet night. The only channel that is carrying the inaug out is Al Jazeera, which excited us at first but is proving to be fairly tame. we were hoping for heavily anti-american coverage with lots of emphasis on Obama's middle name, but unfortunately its no different from cnn, and surely more supportive than fox. oh well. Tomorrow we travel to the northern highlands near the burundi boarder to meet with a friend of goseso who runs a renowned coffee co-op. We will let you know how that goes. Obama is about to speak, so this post is over!
