Greetings from Kenya!

As sounds of night birds are heard through the window of our cottage at Musmark Guesthouse in Nairobi, wanted to write a short post to let all know we arrived safely last night at 11:15 PM local time.  Our flight was delayed 3 hrs at Amsterdam airport, so we arrived much later than planned. Stood in a long que once we landed, waiting to clear customs. After that, picking up our checked bags & going through customs was easy. Mr. Barasa, Ray of Hope's Kenya coordinator, met us with warm hugs & handshakes & welcomed us to Kenya. He & a friend ferried the 9 of us to this comfortable guesthouse located in a nice area of Nairobi.  Slept soundly shielded by mosquito netting draped over our bed from ceiling. Today, Reuben, one of the ROH teachers from the school here shepherded us through the process of exchanging money, purchasing cell phone, sim cards, minutes and wireless computer modems.  Then we had a delicious lunch seated at outdoor tables at a restaurant in town. Afterwards visited an open-air market to purchase crafts. That was an INTENSE experience for all of us as we felt much, much pressure from the touts to buy and pay way more than we felt comfortable doing. Got caught in a rain shower, but then took taxis back to the guesthouse.  Since it was rush hours, traffic was bumper to bumper. Glad to finally get back, get
