Africa in All its Glory

So Africa is amazing. I love being here with a few of the closest people I know, plus some that will gain that title in the next few months, no doubt. I can't believe how green it is and how different it is than what I imagined.

I'm really enjoying my time with friends, new and old. I wish I could talk to my friends though. I think the time difference makes it really hard.

The first night we got in, we stayed in a hotel in Nairobi. I was really afraid how dirty the bed was, but I just toughed it out and said "this is Kenya" and went on my lovely way. We caught a bus to go to Kitale the next morning. That was an 8 hour, killer bus ride. I was dieing. So freaking tired. But I saw some baboons and kinda used my first cho. Ew. When we got to the compound it was raining and it was so great and the compound is beautiful. I couldn't choose anything better. The next day, we went into town after breakfast and some family time. We went to the market and got some lunch. It was so cool. I loved the kids and the craziness. The day after that (today), we went to Hope Bright Future (HBF) children's home. The kids were flippin' out of their minds. I enjoyed everything about it even though it was a lot to take in. After I got home, Daniel got my bags (thank you my hero). I love being at least somewhat settled it. I still have a little more to go tomorrow.

That is pretty much all we have done. That is just a simple one. Maybe I'll go a little more in depth int he future, but it is late and I am falling asleep at my computer.

P.S. Everyone that gave me these expectations, thanks. They were exaggerated and I expected the worst and was happy when it was easier.
