Well, each day is an exciting experience! It has been raining a lot here, but after the rain ... hot! Yesterday I did not feel very well - possibly got some little bug but today am better. When I was sitting in the car in Kitale yesterday, a man named Peter came up to me. Told me the story of how he was going home the night before at 7:30, and it is very, very dark, as he was riding his bike. A thug (that's what they call a person who attacks you here) pushed him off his bike, took his money, knifed him in the leg and left him. So after looking at the 'wound' we took him to the public hospital to get treated and stitches. On the hospital grounds there were monkeys flying from one tree to another teating bananas. Patience is what we are learning here - you know "Roberts Creek Time," well here in Kenya they say "Westener's have the watches: Kenyan's have the time."
Thinking of each of you - we still have not been able to post any photos, We will still keep trying.

Thanks for updating your blog regularly Nancy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time .... and don't bother looking at your watch!
Our class really enjoys reading your blog, Mrs. Miller. We think Africa sounds awesome and that you are having fun. The animals are exotic and it does sound a little dangerous. We are wondering if the monkeys are a tiny bit crazy? We definitely think you are enjoying your trip. We miss you and are thinking about you a lot! From Ms Knecht's Grade 5 class!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased that our students are starting to read your blog. We can't wait to see some pictures.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you and your team.
We all miss you.
Mr. H
Hey Nancy - does this mean we won't be going to Tim Horton's and Liquidation World on Friday night? I guess it is a long, long commute. I hope you are having tons of fun and kiss all those kids for me!
ReplyDeleteWill love to see all the photos when you get home.
Love you!
Time, such a commodity, ditch the watch(it was only a dollar!!!) and enjoy the time. Beautiful day here, one of those fall days that we all love. Kingston was awesome, Paul is fab! He sends his love.
ReplyDeleteTake care, love Sharon
Hi Nancy
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your escapades with a whole lot of interest. You are quite an author, it sounds like very hard work, I admire you all for being there, and doing such good work for less privileged people. It also sounds like fun. Very hot here at the moment.Simon and Fran are coming back to live, I'm very elated, to have them here will be wonderful. warmest wishes Margaret R
