Habari!

WOW! I'm here. So let us start from the beginning...

Friday: Got to the airport, checking in and they tell me they can't find my name... Hmmm, so I show them my confirmation email and he says "this was yesterday". Yeah, missed my flight on Thursday and had to pay $400 to change it to Friday (thanks mom!!)
Get on the plane and fly 12 hours to Dubai - didn't sleep AT ALL, so that was fun. My layover in Dubai was only two hours, so I ate some burger king for breakfast and then hopped my plane to Nairobi. Took about 5 hours, and still didn't sleep. I arrived at the airport without a phone or any phone numbers, so that made it difficult when I had to find out where my ride was. I asked a random women if I could borrow her phone (200 shillings) and called home to my dad. My ride showed up and I slept the 4 hours to Daraja.

Arriving at Daraja was AMAZING. The girls literally wouldn't let my van get in the gate, they surrounded the car and made me get out to hug them. Funny thing is I only knew 26 of them but they didn't seem to care. Every girl there welcomed me back like she knew me forever. That is a pretty amazing thing. I was dead on my feet so I headed up to Jason's and slept for a solid 14 hours. I woke up to Tusker sleeping on my bed, this time sans goat leg (THANKS TUSKER!). He is old and huge but still takes up less room in my bed then miss Josie.

Sunday I went and hung with the girls at their photography class and journaling class. I meant to stick around for the day but when I went home to shower I fell asleep for four hours (oops, jetlag). I ended up going back down for dinner and study hall.

Today is Monday, I had to finish a final for my medical anthro class so I came into town to get some internet. We went food shopping and I pretty much got only cookies and peanut butter. I'm going to buy a phone now and then we are back to campus. Hopefully I will get to do the pretest for my thesis work this week, but I'm still pretty jetlagged and the girls have lots of volunteers at the moment. We will see!
