Having landed...

Its just a little crazy but after a whirlwind drive back to Chicago from Missoula (27 driving hours), a few crazy days of odds and ends, 2 eight hour(ish) flights and a layover in Amsterdam, WE ARE IN KENYA!! ... and in a wee bit of a fog thanks to the abovementioned craziness, jet lag and a nasty head cold I seem to have picked up somewhere along the way. There is already much to say, but for now I will post this one photo as proof that I am really here in the land of acacia trees... The photo is looking-- believe it or not-- into the back side of the UN compound from Sam and Mel's porch... they have a beautiful home; a perfect place to de-fog before the adventures REALLY begin... tomorrow. We head head to Garissa- a city/town in North Eastern Province of Kenya, with Sam and Than to deliver some medical supplies to a clinic. We'll be there one night and then back for one night before heading to Tanzania for 5 or so days. I'm very much enjoying being back and looking forward to a clear head and full days ahead.
