Daily Life in Nairobi

Please forgive my lack of photography skills and spelling errors ..I will work on it!
These are some photos of the kids and our trip to the market.
The pic above is a pic. "City Hoppa" bus. They are always jammed packed and it is unclear to me how one catches one. However, we have been advised not to take them... which is fine with me!

Sam, calling The States!

The kids in the supermarket. 

Max playing in our patio. This space is great. It is totally enclosed and is really an extension of the house. 

The kids on their new bike (a toddler rickshaw)


Today we woke up late because they kids are still adjusting to the time.  We spent some time with Mrs. Farouk, the landlords wife. She is a lovely Indian woman who insists she will be like my mother while we are here. We discussed all sorts of things from where to get the best produce to household help. Our "house girl" will start tomorrow, she sort of comes with the house. Her name is Pauline and she is a young (20's?) Kenyan girl who seems to love the children. For now she will come two days a week. She will do whatever I need, Zanadu!!!!  Due to it being the holidays, most of the people who live here are away. I am looking into volunteering opportunities and child care possibilities. Nothing much will happen before the new year.  For now we are doing well, I even made a real meal tonight (chicken) Hopefully we will all survive it.:)! Keep us posted on what is going on with you all. Rebecca
