Raila calls off rallies - time to go home

Well, Raila has called off the nationwide rallies so that means I can go home! I'm in Voi town today and should be heading back to Ulilinzi within a couple of hours. It was just in time too. The house I was staying at was slowly being overrun by ants (the kind that bite). Lines an inch thick were marching up to the house this morning. Swarms elsewhere were covering dishes, cracks in the walls, and other dark corners. The trip to the bathroom was a nightmare. And, by the way, having ants in your pants* is not nearly as funny as it sounds.

There is a lot more I could say about the elections, but I think it will have to wait for another day. Hopefully, things will continue to settle down and life will go on as normal.
