Here in Africa

Hi all!

(Forgive my lack of grammer)

1st day

Well, where here in Africa! We had a long trip but it went well :) George, Abba, Amma, and Yashanna picked us up from the Nairobi airport at about 3:30am. George drove us to a hotel where we stayed for the night. After we ate a delicious breakfast, we headed for Nakuru. The drive to Nakuru was breath taking. We made two pit stops, one at the Rift Valley and One at Delemere Fast Food where, we ate samosa and drank chai tea. When we arrived at George and Nelly's house and got settled. George and I went to the bank to get our money converted to shillings. We went home ate dinner, and then George got a call from the bank. Apparently, the banker gave me 9,000 shillings ($100) over what I was supposed to get, so we had to go back and get that fixed :P. Later that night Abba did a bible study then we were off to bed.

2nd day

Today we went we all went out to town. Little did I know, the ladies were going shopping and the men were going to kokeb to talk. I jumped out of the vehicle when the ladies got out, because I thought we were all getting out :( It all worked out in the end though, I was made the official bag boy :) After they were done shopping, we went to kokeb's to meet up. The guy, that was driving us in his taxi, wanted 500 shillings for the ride. I was willing to pay it but then piped up Amma "That's highway robbery! I have been here 4 years now, you'll get 200!" then she said "The fair is ussauly 100 but I was not paying 500" :) We got to Kokeb's and talked and had fruit punch and kabobs. Tonight we are having hamburgers and then we are going to have a meeting.

I don't write enough, but hopefully it will improve with time :)
