Week 21: Winding Down

After this week of work, I only have five more weeks in Tanzania.  We finished up our soils work in the villages this week, and we only have final visits and evaluations left to complete in the villages.  I did some screenhouse and lab work, taking down one assay and inoculating another.  The next five weeks will be busy, but I’ve made my list of things to get done and I’m ready to start checking them off.

As always, pics from this week.

Harvest season is done in the villages, so people are now building/fixing houses.  Here are some bricks being made.

After a hot day in the field, I think an entire watermelon is an acceptable lunch.

There are some new monkeys hanging around the guest house and yesterday, I saw a baby monkey.  The younger ones are pretty curious when you go out to watch them, so here are some monkey pictures.  And if you hadn’t guessed yet, yes, I do love monkeys!
