Arrival In Kenya
So, we have arrived. After a very, very long trip, we are in Mombasa!
Seriously, that flight was really long. Going through Detroit and Boston to Amsterdam felt like a full day. Then, you're thinking it's over, but no, it's only starting. The flight to Nairobi was about 9 hours, and that was closely followed by a flight to Mombasa. Needless to say, we were happy to have arrived, and were met by our contact Rita. We'll spend a few days at her place, and head off to the bush soon to start in the clinic Sunday.
We have been getting a tour around Mombasa, which is a little harrowing, and have purchased a lot of food. I, apparenlty will be the cook. We bought lots of fruit and veggies, and will buy more food soon in Kenya's version of Walmart (I know, it's terrible). It's quite a culture shock here, of course, and it will sink in more in the coming days.
I will write much more later, there is so much to tell in one day, it's a little overwhelming, but we are in a bit of a hurry, so I'm just going to put my contact here. I can be reached by dialing this number: 254-727-322-014. We will be keeping safe and having a lot of fun.
