So after multiple flights (3), and many, many hours (approx. 26?) in the air and in airports, we are here, in Kenya. The flights weren't bad, fairly uneventful. (I did get to see a woman try and eat a wet wipe, and I'm sad to say I didn't try to stop her.)
I think I'm adjusting to the time difference well, I'm normally up all night anyway. So, this'll be good for that whole insomnia thing. . . .
We (Kelsey, Dr. Mosteller, and I) are staying in a quaint (yet quite large) English-type cottage. I is situated on a chai tea plantation that is 4-5 generations old. The woman who owns it is a older British woman named Fiona. The gardens are amazing! EVERYTHING grows like crazy.
Well, that's about it for now. We're about to go exchange money, eat, and head over to start counseling the people with AIDS. Hitting the ground running!
