Wow

We landed safely, but it was grueling.  We are staying in a house in Valley View Compound. Last night there were 13 of us sleeping here. It's kind of like staying at the cottage: we all eat in the living room (there is no place else).  We all had beds, I'm in a bunk, Don and Judy have there own room (Kenyan double).  Along with us 4, there are 2 more Winnipegers; Katy Keats, who is a friend of Josh's, and Deb Kushner, a friend of Josh's mom.
Our house keeper, Salima, is an amazing cook, so we have been eating very well.  Last night we had chapattis and ndengu, which is like a spicy lentil chili. 
It's about 26 outside, but with the sun directly overhead it feels more like 30 plus. Right now it's very dry, and the winds pick up fine dust and blow it everywhere. The culture shock is overwhelming.
