We made it. It took what seemed a week, but we are finally in Nairobi with our dear friends Bud and Kimberly Huffman of Mattaw Ministries (check out their work). Tomorrow we head for Kitale to stay with them and help out with their NGO, and then in 3 1/2 weeks Freewaters will be here to dig a well in Kisumu!
Africa is home for me, and it feels so good to be back. I breath easier here, which if you've been anywhere in Africa must seem ironic since it stinks like burning trash and human waste most of the time.. is it strange that I find comfort in that? Probably, but it is what it is. London was a good layover for us, we were able to spend time with a childhood friend of mine and stay awake long enough to ease the transition of jet-lag (even though we ruined it today by sleeping in until 2:30pm). We were able to watch the fireworks show the city put on in honor of Guy Fawkes Day, which to our disappointment was to celebrate that he wasn't successful in blowing up the Parliament buildings... why would you have a weekend long celebration called "Guy Fawkes Day" if it's to celebrate that he was a criminal? Oh, England. Other than that, it was good. We saw more of the underground than the touristy stuff, but we just needed to stay awake.
Today we went to Westlake Mall, which was very posh. We usually come to Kenya and are lucky if we have showers every day, but our first introduction was to a mall! It eases the culture shock though.
No photos today, we put a couple on facebook but none exciting enough (unless you saw the one Phil posted... oh boy).
Thanks for following us!
