... movie with her until it froze (Odog- they have DVD's here! lol). We decided after 5 times trying to restart it that it was time for bed.
This morning when we got up to the office Kilonzi told us he was not feeling well, and that we would have to take him to the clinic he goes to in Karen. The clinic is extremely run down, and the waiting room is just benches outside under a tin roof. We waited, and waited, and waited until Kilonzi got in. He had to get a shot ...

... day of the 20th was not extremely exciting though, which was nice because I was feeling down. We started the day off walking forevvveerrrrrr to do a home visit with Kilonzi. We had to wait by these railroad tracks for one of the women to meet us there, and while we were waiting this group of kids kept yelling: “My name is ______, and I beg of you!!!!” Apparently children here have like 50 names each because this went on for about 20 minutes. It is really difficult ...

... The weirdest so far - raw horse(Japan), duck embryo(Philippines). We arrived to the restaurant after a long drive and the place was pretty impressive. After seeing mud hut homes for the past 2 weeks, this place was definitely a step up. It was very nicely done and impressive! We sat down and waited for the others to arrive. 2 out of the 3 arrived and we just went ...

Flew into Kili this afernoon in a bumpy 12 seater, saw some zebra and Giraffes from the air just outside Nairobi. Kili is far bigger than expected, we could just make out the outline in the haze and clouds, it towered above us even from 12,000 ft. We've ...

... wherein they shoot a cow directly in the jugular with a small arrow, and collect a jug of blood which they will use to mix with milk and drink. The jugular stops bleeding with gentle pressure, and the cow goes back to its business, unscathed…just like any blood collection.

After meeting our 14 day Gorilla Treking group and our second day of game driving, it was time to head west through Kenya and Uganda. Our next truck was ...

Je me pose beaucoup la question qu est ce que je veux faire aprs Nairobi. Le sud soudan, la cote kenyane, partir pour les seychelles, madagascard ? En ce moment, c est la haute saison et les billets d avion montent au plafond.

On m apropose un billet a 1200 dollars pour aller a madagacar. Donc la suite dependra surtout de ce que je vais trouver comme billet d avion a prix raisonnable ou sinon je continue par la route vers l ethiopie.

... to the Masai Market in downtown Nairobi. All the vendors gather in one area with their goods-jewelry, art, clothing, carvings, musical instruments, imported goods, and they barter with you. True to African form they call you as you walk by:"Pretty lady, looking is free! Touching is free, too!", "Seester, seester, come to my store!". It's so much fun. And the whole thing is bartering. You ask how much, they tell you, you act appalled by the price ...

... apparently a pipe has broken so we have no idea when we’re getting it back. The huge bins that they normally store water in to last us until the weekend are almost empty, so I guess we’ll have to start buying water after that. Our host brother, Peter, says the problem with that is you have no idea where that water comes from. The drought is becoming a double problem because apparently most of Kenya’s electricity is hydroelectric, so ...

... but allow them the opportunity to create income generating activities to provide for their children and improve their lives overall. In addition, they will now know that the water they feed themselves and their children is free from disease-causing pathogens.
