Tumefika Kenya! (We have arrived)
We got to Nairobi last night (Friday) after a night flight from Newark to London, just enough time in London to get to our next plane, and a day flight from London to Nairobi. We're a little sleep deprived, but glad to be here. We're staying in a self-catering guest house while we're here, and have the weekend to just rest. Orientation starts Monday, and we may be heading to Sudan as early as Friday, but that is subject to change of course!
So far today, we woke up at 5, fought being awake for an hour, and finally gave in and got up at 6. After a couple hours enjoying a leisurely breakfast and a little reading, we went to Yaya Centre (mall-type place) for some groceries and a cup of coffee. In the kitchen are fresh avocados, mangos, and okra, among other produce, as well as some delicious fruit juice.
The question now is this: nap, or no nap? We're a little sleep deprived from the traveling, but trying to fight jet lag... If we're sleep deprived when we go to bed tonight, that will mean we'll be more likely to sleep a full night and get over jet lag faster, right? But, OH I'm so sleepy right now.....
