Yesterday I went into town early with a sick student and then taught a class at the hospital about Malaria with Nurse Jacinta. The class went well, the students are nursing students from Action Aid Denmark. I had a break for a few hours before a CME (continuing medical education) class back at the hospital. I walked into town and bummed around for a while, eating and buying some presents to bring home. I hung around with the boys for a little while, they are coming to Daraja tomorrow to have some good meals before they go off to school. These boys are amazing, street boys that are number one in their class!
I had to head back to Cottage around 4 pm so I hopped on a Boda Boda (a motorcycle taxi) since I had so many bags. And then it rained... HARD. The driver started screaming "I'm getting wet!!", DUH IT'S RAINING! I had to pay him triple the price and I was SOAKED. Thankfully Jacinta lives at the hospital so I ran to her house and she was nice enough to give me some dry clothes.
On a motorcycle, without a helmet, in the rain, in Kenya. That is a metaphor for my life!
Today I woke up early and went for a run, appreciating the view and trying to remember where my feet are. They are hear in Kenya, so I hope to enjoy it for the next few days!
It is also my 25th birthday! I can't believe the life I have, I am so grateful for this life!
