3 flights, 3 time zones, 18 plus hours of flight later, I made it! I am spending a day or so in Nairobi, then I'll be heading west to Nakuru, in the Rift Valley. The weather is really nice, low 70's with a lot of beautiful flowers and trees.

I feel pretty good...anxiety over long distance travel having passed, I'm excited to experience the culture and scenery of this country. I'm already comparing/contrasting to my experiences in Ghana. I feel a little jet lag, but not too bad actually.

I had my first authentic Kenyan meal at a busy restaurant for locals (business people, all in suits) I was the only Mzungu there. It was a meal of veg. stew with sides of banana, greens, carrots and some other items I couldn't identify. It was pretty good, but slightly difficult to eat a large lunch when my body thinks it is 5AM.

I'm still in sensory overload mode and not sure what to post, but all is well here. I'm feeling really grateful for this opportunity to be here. More from Nakuru
