random shots of life in Kenya

New Year's Eve in Nairobi. Frozen pizza on our laundry balcony. Don't be jealous!
Every one here has some sort of balcony to hang their laundry. You see clothes hanging
every where here. 

Every time we walk to to little market down the street several men try to sell us this fruit. It looks delicious but not worth the risk!

This is the view of our complex from the street. This is Ali (as in Mohammed). He is an askari (guard). He is always smiling and loves the kids. There is one more gate before you get to our house. Ibrahim is the guard there. He is also very nice and loves playing with the kids. All of the guards are from Somalia. We often see them washing their feet in preparation for prayer. They have a very boring job as their presence seems unnecessary. 

Two cuties having super cool popsicles or ice lollies as they are labeled.

All is well. Jeff will be in Boston next week, wish me luck. We are very jealous!
I visited a wonderful school for the kids today. There is an informal admissions process so we do not know if they will be able to go there but I am hopeful!
I miss taking walks with out crazy matatus blowing exhaust in your face. I also miss driving my own car and American TV. and of course, all of you! Take Care, Rebecca
