Hey everyone,
After some hectic/barfy (for some of us) travel, we made it. The Amsterdam airport was a bit disappointing, but the tile floor provided great comfort. We saw zebras on the way to Voi. We are checking out schools today. We spent about 2 hrs at the school we'll be teaching at (Bungule primary school). It's warm and the soda is refreshing. The children are absolutely wonderful--smiling and happy to see us. We have taken many pictures but we can't upload them just yet (until we have more than 30 minutes of internet). We are all alive, safe, fed, showered, and excited. Also tired from the sun.
From Madeline: Hey everyone! Thanks for reading this. I'm having a blast. The plane rides were ok and I didn't drug up as much as I normally do. Slept more than I normally do, which was great. I love you and miss all of you. Please please leave us a message or a comment. We need to hear from you so please please say SOMETHING. Ok, I love you all. xoxo
From Amy: Hello!!!! I am already sunburnt but loving every second of it!The view is beautiful and our banda (house) is wonderful. Semi-american toilets :) WE are all very happy and are having a blast meeting all of the people. Larry, I found a new schip-schwap: lemon bitter..... hahaha i love you and everyone else..please leave us messages, it might be a week before we can contact agin. love doves

Yay, GREAT to hear from you all. Glad you're having a wonderful time, and the banda is good.
ReplyDeleteHow far away is Voi from where you're staying? How was the ride from Nairobi? How warm is it? What's a semi American toilet? All questions here apparently. Enjoy the kids!
Love you Mad, and have fun Kenya 6!
It's great to hear you all made it safely (and I'm betting one of the "barfys" was my little Jules). We can't wait to see photos and hear more about your exciting times. Stay hydrated and don't pet anything that might bite too hard. Love you Julie and the rest of you have a wicked awsome time.

K, so pretty much what ma and pa asked, plus what kinda soda is it? Orange? Cola? IMPORTANT DETAILS PEOPLE. :P How long till you start teaching? Also as much as you can I want to know what kind of wildlife you guys are seeing there.
Mad - Miss ya lots and can't wait to hear what ur doin! Also I want a lion cub. Do your best to bring one home for me (tiger cub will do in pinch). Preferably one that sings about its future as royalty.
Holy crap. Kenya.

Amy,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you all made it there safely, cant wait to see pic and hear all about your trip. Wow what an adventure you all will have.

Madeline- SOOOooooo good to hear from you! Farmers market is in full swing (bad season for berries tho, apparently) but not the same without you! But hey now- there are more details needed for those of us attempting to live vicariously through your adventures. It's all about the details, so don't hesitate to include the random trivial bits. For instance- what's up with this soda business? Is it different than American soda?
ReplyDeleteHey mad - if you can check your facebook I need your help in resolving netflix issues.
ReplyDeleteHello from New Zealand!
