Leaving once again

Our last day was spent packing furiously, saying goodbyes, and visiting the Nane Nane grounds. GCS set up their main station at Reuben's house, and it proved to be a pretty nice spot to be- full of commotion and other vendors. Mama Glory ended up meeting up with us for lunch so it was a wonderful last minute goodbye! She gave Colin and I key chains so we can remember her in all our travels, which was really sweet of her!  Besides the goodbyes, we picked up last minute gifts for friends and family back home because Nane Nane is just like the county fairs at home! Tons and tons of agricultural products, nonsense blow up toys and stuffed animals, and anything else you can really imagine! 

On a scary side note......

When I was doing my final packing for Tanzania, I decided I'd bring along some fruit for the long plane rides. Well, it turns out, I wasn't in the mood for eating an apple. It arrived right along with me and ended up sitting in my room after I unpacked everything. After about a week, it hadn't begun rotting in any way so I decided to make an experiment out of it. How long could this apple last without getting smushy or gross? Turns out, all 10 weeks. Should I be concerned that this apple not only hadn't browned in any way, but also showed no signs of aging- no soft spots, completely firm, and was still shiny? Not to mention I had bought the apples about a week and a half before I even left for Tanzania. I've had apples turn bad on me in the fridge after about a week and a half, and here this apple sits, perfect as can be after sitting in a cupboard for over 2 months. I just couldn't believe it!  I am planning to test this state side once I get everything settled in at my apartment :p
