11:00pm - Nairobi time. We landed safely in Nairobi. No more plans for April for another 11 days! It is 3:00 pm Michigan time, a difference of eight hours. It's dark and quiet here at the Methodist hotel in Nairobi. I just showered and have on clean pajamas and that feels great. The hotel is very small, and our roon is about 18 feet by 20 feet: two single beds, a toilet and a sink/shower. We have mosquito nets but I haven't seen a mosquito yet. I can hear a dog barking in the distance. My head is still dizzy from traveling over 24 hours straight with sinusitis. My roommate, Jennifer, is a office manager for a pediatric surgery office in Grand Rapids. She's great! She has three daughters, so we have a lot in common. On the bus ride from the airport to the hotel we saw zebras crossing the road. Zebras! I was sitting on the wrong side of the busto get a good look, as it was dark, but there were enough people who saw them to confirm it. ZEBRAS! holy cow - I'm in Africa!!!
From what I could see on the dark bus ride, Nairobi reminds me a lof of rural southern Mexico, but with cars on the opposite side of the road. And people here drive crazy! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. After some sleep. :o)
