Pazhalsta Kenya!

So here I am in Kenya, finally settled down enough to write a blog post. I figure you have to be pretty well settled down to start ignoring things like the ironing and cooking to write a blog post.

But here I am, in Kijabe, exploring the town, eating sour porridge, drinking tea. Maybe a little update on my life: I'm staying in a three bedroom flat, and nobody else is occupying it at the time, so it's just me, and it's very spacious, and has a great kitchen. I'll have a roommate by tomorrow though, and he'll be here a week, but the flat is great.

The best part? It's on the 3rd floor, and the living room has a large window that looks out onto the rift valley. I wake up every morning, and look outside and it looks like I just beat the Oregon Trail.

Today I was shown around the town by one of my co-workers, we took a walk around the surrounding area and saw some baboons. Apparently, they're like deer in ohio, in the morning they might be there eating the grass on your lawn. (or in the case of the baboon, eating the onions you planted.) Anyway, if anyone's sending me a package, one of those lazer guns from the movie Congo would be nice. 

Also, how great is it that my favorite drink of all time, Coca-Cola, is available everywhere! (And it's so cheap here! and comes in glass bottles. We should all be so lucky)
