Hello all,
I am back safely (after another beautiful but supremely uncomfortable ride across Kenya) in Ongata Rongai at the house of Mary and Peter. I leave in just 2 days which is really hard to believe. I'm excited to go home but I really did get a bit stuck on the life in bucolic Nyeri. There are other volunteers here who spent the whole semester throwing keg parties to earn $13,000 to give to the center and school- really amazing. I haven't quite recovered from my trip yesterday so I was pretty useless today but it is lovely to see old friends (Tabitha, Maureen, John, Mary, Peter, Meshack etc...). I am also glad I managed to see Alex and family again (despite the trip). The girls were less shy, I got to stay at their house and I got to see Ridah again. Ridah (the elderly woman I was so enamored with in another blog) had SO many questions this time about the U.S. compared to Kenya (funerals, dowries, poor people, crime etc...)
I will miss Kenya.
See most of you very soon,
Lied
