It's feels so good to be back!

Summer and I made it to Nairobi.  It feels so good to be back in Kenya!  Flights were on time and only one piece of luggage lost.  Too bad it was the luggage with our essentials inside.  (The other bags are full of donations for the Samburu children.)  We are staying an extra night at Jane's cottage in hopes that the bag is delivered tonight.  If not, we'll be in Tanzania for a week with two pair of underwear each!  Oh well, such is the world of travel.

Weather here is perfect!  We did some basic shopping, bought a phone for use while here and Summer was able to hug a giraffe at the giraffe center.  She refused to kiss him, too much slobber I guess.

Tomorrow begins our adventure in Tanzania - living in a Maasai village for a week in a tent on a hill.  I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends face to face instead of through the Internet.  I'm also looking forward to seeing  the Montessori school in the village, meeting the teacher and the children.

Am I tired?  Now that's a silly question!

    Two pairs of underwear each...hey, you're way ahead of the game...things dry pretty quick in the Longido heat!! Can't wait to hear what you think of the village.
