Before the New Years Starts

Hello world!  The New Year is nearly upon us!  I hope that all are having a wonderful holiday season; enjoying family, friends, and meeting new and wonderful people such as I am.  Let me tell you a bit about what we have been doing this last week.  First you need to know that Kenya is having an exceptionally rainy time right now, which has resulted in a lot of mud and flooding.  So we haven’t been able to do a whole lot, but we certainly have stayed busy.  New Christmas presents have occupied our time most of the time.  We did however get to visit some friends down town and stay the night at the apartment where they were staying.  It is amazing how wonderful a warm shower feels after bathing by bucket.  We had fun playing games, watching movies, and enjoying each other’s company.  We also had a chance to visit the Safari walk.  We got to see some animals and see a bit of the national park.  Tomorrow we head to Mombasa to enjoy some time at the coast.  Nothing like waking up in the new year at the coast.
