Baby giraffe

This little guy's Mama is nearby but sitting in the brush. We saw one
close by today eating from a tall tree. They say they eat from the
abundant thorn bushes and eat so delicately around the thorns they dont
get hurt.

This is our new house for the next 18 months with our 2012 diesel Nisson
truck that has a crew cab and is turbo charged. Dave has been learning
to drive on the wrong side of the road and is doing quite well.Chris has
yet to try. The house is light and airy with a sunken living room where
I predict I will forget and fall on my face at some point.

We only have hot water in the shower which is directly off the main hall
and in the tub in the master bedroom. There are only two bedrooms. The
black tank you can see collects rain water from the roof and underneath
that is the water storage tank. That water is pumped up on demand to a
similar tank in the rear which is up on stilts.

Inside the floor is a white tile with blue diamonds. The shower which is
just off the main hall is pink tile with swirls. The shower head is
equipped with a on demand heater but you have to first turn the water on
then the electric switch and when you get through you have to turn the
switch off before you turn off the water or you get shocked. My score is
one shower without a shock and one with. This house is in a huge
subdivision,, Villa View, and is the only one around. There is a lot of
new building going on and all are built with a variation of the same
stone as our house.

The roads however, are abominable- no paving just rough dirt. We have
walked around each morning and not covered it all yet. The missionariies
live right next door. They do not have a vehicle and must walk or take
the Matatu or small bus. We are not allowed to take it because they
sometimes cram 20 people into the small van. The traffic is crazy with
no real laws but there are a lot of speed bumps by towns or Matatu stops
called stages. I am so glad Dave is learning to drive out here because
Nairobi is a nightmare and a half with people cutting in at will and the
four roundabouts get so jammed a traffic cop has to control traffic at
peak times.

We have been traveling for ten hours now and we are very weary. we have about 3 more hours to go before we make it to Nairobi. It has been some what uneventful and we are ready to be there. And that is just the last leg. We slept one hour coming to London then it was morning there and we

We have been traveling for ten hours now and we are very weary. we have about 3 more hours to go before we make it to Nairobi. It has been some what uneventful and we are ready to be there. And that is just the last leg. We slept one hour coming to London then it was morning there and we
serpentined through Heathrow often coming back to where we has just left and got on the bus to take us to the plane. The logistics were impossible to figure out and I am glad someone else is doing them. I am tired and my hair is a mess and I don't care just so we get to Nairobi and I find a bed. Oh, yes, Katy, we put all my liquids in a baggie but forgot your Dad's and his carry on was searched at Heathrow but we passed. We have watched more movies and listened to all the classical music we can stand and we just want to get out of this sardine can they call an airplane and get to work doing something useful.
