So I have 6 minutes left. So I will quickly summarize what happened, and then maybe later go into great detail. Ask questions.
-Go bathing in waterfall in morning
-Go to a wedding in afternoon
-Dance in wedding precession
-Everyone stares at Elliott's dancing
-Get publicly acknowledged at wedding as a group
-Give some money as a gift
-Dance some more
-The whole group leaves besides me
-I dance some more
-At one point I do the worm in front of the whole village.
-When the wedding is done the MC pulls me into the middle and tells me "Let me show you how to dance African"
-We dance with all the villagers dancing around us. So HOT!!
-She then asks for my contact info which I go to grab.
-When I get back its night outside.
-We go sit on the side of the house to give her information.
(At this point its one of those moments where you got 2 people interested in eachother looking at the starts)
-We talk to eachother about our careers.
-Her name is Neema and she is an English teacher.
-Then things get weird with such questions as:
-"Do you have a fiance, why not?"
-"Would you ask your parents if you could marry someone outside the states?"
-"I want to Marry you Elliott"
-Kind of weird.
-I'm not too good with women, and Tanzanian Islamic women who know a little bit of enlish was definately a challenge.
What happened? Stay tuned, I ran out of time. It's a happy ending.

Hey Elliott,
Look on the bright side... if you're 45 or so and still single, you've got a sure bet in Africa. Thanks for writing about your amazing adventures . I'm sitting in Folsom Street Coffee Shop in Boulder and nursing a hangover while you're meeting all sorts of exciting, diverse people with interesting stories to tell. I'm also glad to hear that your digestive system isn't slowly devouring itself in a gruesome death like the rest of the PLC'rs over there with you.
On second thought, that would be kind of cool.
At any rate, enjoy the rest of your trip. I'd like to ask one favor of you: please tackle Teju to the ground, then stand up and start dancing around him. Tell him it's a present from me.
