SURREAL!!!

Lacey & Moose have made it! They left Chicago on Tuesay, May 13; arrived in Nairobi on Wednesday, May 14; and went on to Arusha, Tanzania on Thursday, May 15.

Surreal! is the word that keeps popping up in our conversations. They just can't believe they are actually there. Lacey's words were, "it doesn't feel as if we ever left."

They have had some exciting reunions with friends in both Nairobi and Arusha. They will be leaving for Gelai and Maakat tomorrow morning.

Here are a few of Lacey's thoughts over the past few days:

• how little water there is in the toilets;
• how there are so many HUGE signs along Uhuru Hwy in Nairobi;
• crazy drivers (it never bothered me before, but I think that I notice more now because I drive);
• a new immigration building in Namanga that has webcams and computers;
• a TON of advertisements in Kenya that feature women;
• how everything feels so familiar that is is way easy to take things for granted because it feels like I never left;
• the road from Nairobi to Arusha is TERRIBLE!!
• why I like to be "rocked" to sleep...because the bumpy roads put me to sleep straight away;
• how the sun goes behind the horizion right at 6:30 pm;
• that Cathy has a beautiful accent;
• and lastly, Salome still gives the best hugs!!!
