First Pictures of Kenya

We are still dealing with jet lag here, but feel that we are close to getting back to having some resemblance of a schedule. Hopefully we will not all wake up tomorrow at 2:30am, as we have the last two nights. I know this would be a huge relief to Katy, since she starts work tomorrow. Regardless of the challenges of an unruly toddler, jet lag, and other cultural and physical adjustments, I can't say enough how wonderful it is here. I love the tropics! And being in the central highlands of Kenya means we are at some altitude and the warm days cool off quite a bit at night. I was in a state of disbelief last night at dinner time when I realized that I was getting cold. So glad I brought a sweatshirt.

Okay, onto some pictures...ok...that took awhile to upload. You'll find the majority of our pictures by clicking on the "Picasa Photostream" on the right side of the blog, as I have time to make some albums there, which I can also add to throughout our trip.

Below is our little G on the move. We fear that there will be many spills and scrapes along the way. He is often intent on learning the hard way. Ready or not hear I go!

Beautiful Kenyan sunlight

Beautiful Kenyan foliage. The pinks and purples really pop. Also, note the ominous clouds above, building for the daily afternoon showers. very refreshing and wonderful.

Our humble abode, the right side of a duplex, which is just down the hill from the hospital. Inside we have basic furnishings and kitchenware, two bedrooms down the hall with a bathroom on one side. The housing manager kindly found us a coffee maker and so far we are making due with what was already here. 

For now I am going to enjoy the last few minutes of Gus' nap in our quiet living room before heading out for more adventuring; maybe to meet some new friends next door.
