We arrived in Kenya today after a very long flight, much dragging of luggage, and a few trips through security and then customs. It is amazing that our planes flew at speeds over 500 mph, and yet, it still required two flights with the second leg taking 13 hours to arrive in Kenya. It makes me realize how huge this world is that God has made, and yet, He controls it all.

We settled into the house where will be staying and then drove around the city to do a little shopping. This was a planned activity to keep us awake until the evening so we can adapt to the Kenya time zone. As our driver, David drove us around the city, we were excited to see baboons on the side of the road (and to see zebras in the distance on our earlier drive from the airport), as well as experience driving on the left side of the road through intense traffic and throngs of people.

David also took us to Kobe Tough. This is a business that provides work and a source of income for Maasai women who create clay beads and hand-sewn leatherwork and beading. We enjoyed seeing the ladies work, and they even treated the group to a spontaneous song and dance. After dinner, we all retired early to try to make up for the lack of sleep the last couple of days. Tomorrow we will head to AIC Zion School!!
