Hey everyone, It's been a crazy two days. Friday night I met up with one of my old students at the campsite in Nairobi. She and another teacher were finished with their experience and were on their way back home. Same with another volunteer who had just finished her safari. I can't believe this will be the second time I'm in Kenya and no safari. Oh well, I have a feeling I will be back soon. Anyway, we talked for a while and then went to bed. Two nights in a row I woke up and could ...

It was all perfectly ripe and i found out i do not like papya but i really like passion fruit. then we sat around waiting for every one to get up, it seemed like for ever. There was a real shower so by the time i did ...

... Although apparently it should have only been 600, but the travel agents charged a steep fee. But just having our own place was so wonderful. I really miss that about the States. I love my family here, but I wish I could live on my own. Anyway, we all sort of just relaxed all day and we finally made it to the beach around 530 or so, right at dusk.
