Hey Everybody-
Well yesterday we had a very enjoyable plan of relaxing, maybe seeing the city, and overall adjusting to the time difference. So... about 1:30 the first dealers showed up. They brought 5 manuscripts with them. That meant that it was time to try my new set-up. Of course the lightbulbs that I worked so hard to keep safe on the trip to Nairobi starting popping and overall didn't work. This meant that we just went and bought some new bulbs here in Nairobi. Figures ;). Overall, the day went very well. We got these 5 manuscripts digitized and the photos look great. The hospitality here continues to just be incredible. Pastor Patrick and his family are incredibly kind and we have been enjoying eating breakfast and dinner with them as well as watching soccer (Sherwood and Chad, I am very grateful for the soccer tutorial that you gave me prior to my leaving). Jackie and Simon are going to be helping us. They are both great workers and I am excited to work with them. That about covers how yesterday went. Today we are going to the Kenya Museum and checking out a little more of the city and then on Friday another dealer will be coming by. I hope that you are all well.

P.S. On Saturday I will be going on my safari :)

See, the watching of soccer WAS a good thing (if they ever use a term or anything you don't know, just smile and nod and ask me later :0))... sucks about the light bulbs, though... How was the museum? And have fun with the safari...
Yeah, so far I have been able to make sense of everything. Didn't actually make it to the museum today. Just kind of walked around town and tried to get used to the neighborhood, where things are, and how to avoid getting lost. Valuable lessons :)
I am so jealous you get to go on a safari
Glad your keeping the blog up, it lets me live vicariously through you (without sitting in a plane sans AC). Hope everything continues to go well, and make sure you post lots of safari pictures!
Wow, what an adventure all ready! It sounds so offical, documanting and all that. Keep the pictures comming!
