My dear readers, I have let you down, and I am ashamed. You come to this site for true reporting from the front lines in Tanzania, but instead in the last post I gave you lies. I would like to set the record straight:
There are sheep here, they're just freaky-looking. What I had originally taken to be a subspecies of thickset, exceptionally ugly goat is, instead, ovine. They've got shortish, straightish wool (which is what initially threw me off), and thick sheepy tails. I was also sitting next to a pen yesterday and noticed that the animal next to me had round pupils - as I'm sure you know, goat pupils are rectangular and satanic. So there went the ugly-goat theory. It's ugly sheep after all.
I can only beg your forgiveness for this massive oversight, and promise to strive for higher editorial standards in the future.

Happy birthdays tomorrow, Alex and Robin! If you were here, I'd bake a cake. OK, I might anyway...
