“You had me at chai!”

    – long story short:  we met Pat (a Peace Corps worker living in Nguluni, a nearby village) by accident in our local grocery store (it’s not every day you run into another mzungu-white person-in Tala) just before she was going back to the States.  She gave our contact information to her new friend, Jessica who came to work in Nguluni for the summer.  Jessica contacted us and we met for dinner, our first dinner date with anyone in Tala!  I emailed her afterwards and invited her over for chai as soon as the house is complete – afterall I need someplace to actually make the chai!  She responded with the above quote…can’t wait to visit with  her again.
