Live a life less ordinary

So...Kenya. First off, let me apologize for the whole blogging thing or lack thereof. Kind of suck at this.

Thoughts? Its unbelievably overwhelming. There are these matatu things which are essentially death on wheels. I hate getting on them and they are definitely not made for anyone over 5 feet.

I have already been to a get together, walked all over Nairobi alone, went to a house and was told I now had 4 grandmothers and 9 aunties, sang and danced with said aunties, and hiked the Ngong hills. Amazing. I am super excited to start working, which better begin tomorrow. I really do not even know how to describe anything, there is just way too much going on. I am enjoying myself for sure, but I am still confused on exactly why I am here. I was reading Paul Theroux's Dark Star Safari and he said that travel is the way he chooses to spend his time, not as leisure or work or sightseeing, but a way to pass the time. It made me think about what I was choosing to notice and take note of in my journal. My plane ticket from British Airways had me classed as "world traveller". That really made me think about the tiny percentage of people that I will be able to talk about my experiences with and have them truly understand what I am saying.

Sorry this is so disjointed.
I am taking very good care of Shanky by the way (or the other way around...)
