Rested and Ready to Begin!





Our first day we tried our best to adjust to the new time, new climate, new elevation, and new tropical ecosystem! We rested and ran essential errands – getting a phone line, exchanging money, grocery shopping, and preparing for the days ahead. We made a special “American Melting Pot Surprise” dinner for our host family, complete with Chinese stir fry, Turkish meatballs, French seared snapper, Indian rice, and a special Kenyan wine. You can tell from the photos that it was quite a festive ordeal. Ellen, JoAnn, and Kevin are learning quickly that in Kenya meals last a minimum of 3 hours with rich conversation and hearty laughs!
