Karibuni Kenya

Welcome to Kenya! That's a greeting we've heard a lot of since we landed here yesterday at about 3 pm local time. It's one hour past South Africa time, so everyone adjust your internal clocks. It was lightly raining when we landed and 21 degrees C, cold by South African standards. We were greated with a large van that holds the 6 of us and all our luggage, amazingly. That would have made a great picture...but I didn't get one.
Our driver took us to Fred's aunt and uncle's house first. They live near the airport. We were greeted warmly and served a variety of cold sodas. A nice way to unwind after a 5 hour flight (plus packing and driving, it made for a long morning). We stayed about 30 minutes, then we made one stop at a nice indoor/outdoor market near Fred's mom's house. I had some espresso, Geo had a fresh (exotic) fruit smoothie and we went to Mama Fred's house. Her house is awesome...it's quite large and there is room for all 6 of us, plus the other cousins that live there as well. We had a wonderful home cooked meal (we haven't really had a home cooked meal in over 3 weeks now) and then it was time to visit with some of Fred's friends at a club in town. We were home by 12:30 am or so, but we all voted to sleep in today (Sunday).
Today we're getting caught up on email and school stuff (some have a deadline to apply for internships today) and we'll be going to a large Masai Market this afternoon.
Today the weather is beautiful! It's sunny, not too hot and there's a breeze. I think the weather is ideal here. Not too hot, not too cold, not too much rain, not too much sun. And it's not too humid either.
One more thing: our local number here is +254 72 564 6139. We'll have that number until Friday when we leave for Prague.
I'll post some pictures after I've taken some. Kewaheri (good-bye!)
