Hot

So it's hot here every day. Probably around 90... I am constantly sweating and it's funny because the Kenyans are not even phased by it. They clearly have never been to upstate NY in the winter to know that 90 degrees is really frikkin hot! So I'm in Kisumu now. I took the night bus on Saturday and the ride was actually a little bit better than last time I was here. You're only on a dirt road for half of it now haha. I'm staying with a friend in a neighborhood called Migosi. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get to town by public transportation, matatus. Today is the first day I've been in town. I'm finally getting settled and realizing that I will be taking bucket showers for the next year and doing dishes with a bucket of water... sweet. The food is awesome and I even tried intestines yesterday (I'm not sure from what animal). It was just as gross as I thought it would be, but at least I tried it. Not too much else to report. Hopefully I'll start some volunteer work in the next week or so, that's the plan anyway...

FINALLY here

I am finally back in Kenya and it is exactly as I remember it. The same smells, the same people, the same dusty roads everywhere and I still stand out just as much as I did before... awesome. I'm in Nairobi for a few days now and then to Kisumu on Sunday where I will be spending most of my time. I'm already hot and sweaty and dirty all the time... gotta love Kenya. I'm still pretty jet-lagged, so it's nice to have time to just relax and catch up on sleep. I'm going to see my home-stay family tomorrow that I lived with last time I was here. That's about all for the time being.

P.S. I already miss ice!
