Rain Means Food

I think everyone we met in Rwanda and Kenya kept telling us that we should come back in the rainy season, it's so much better then. Being sun-worshipping Arizonans, we were puzzled by that, and asked why it was better during the rainy season. We got answers like, oh it's prettier then, it's greener then. However, the answer that one of our drivers in Nairobi gave us was the best, and probably underlies all the other answers. When we asked why he liked the rainy season better than the dry season, he paused and replied, "Rain means food".
