We're in Nairobi
!!! We got in last night around 9:50 and then stood in line for our visa's for a LONG TIME. :) We finally got out of the airport around 11 pm. It was warm and balmy - which felt good. We met up with our friends and then settled for the night. Got pretty good sleep using ear plugs - the train woke us up around 4:30 am - it was very talkative! The city wakes up early! Ha. We feel pretty good today, we'll be leaving for the orphanages shortly, a long bus drive coming up. I can feel it getting warmer but it is still comfortable.
(Picture to the left is the view outside our hotel. The internet cafe is right across the street where I wrote this blog!)
I'm at the email cafe right across from our hotel. It's the first time I've been out, there are shops all along the building and people coming and going. It doesn't smell here. (Picture to the right - luggage brought by the team members
. / Picture to the right - the guys were loading all our stuff on a truck - there was twelve boxes plus four suitcases/backpack from Esther, seven suitcases/backpacks for us, and several bags/backpacks for the other team members - a LOT OF STUFF!)John & I are doing good. I think we've adjusted to the time change pretty well but we may have to see how we feel after today. :) It's eleven hours difference from the west coast. (Picture to the left - John & I in the back of a very OLD beat-up taxi with other team members leaving
our hotel and on our way to the bus stage.)Ok...that's it for now. Will write when I get a chance. Thinking of you all!
Sunny Smiles,
