I'm Here!

I'm Here!!!!!!!!!! Everything went smooth. I am super exhausted at the moment though. That was a lot of flying and I didnt get much sleep. I probably only slept for maybe 3 hours total off and on.  My body has no idea what time it is. I have been eating at all hours of the day and at times my body is not used to. My layovers were fine, my visa went fine, my luggage all made it, and my driver got me to the guest house here in Nairobi. I arrived basically at dark, so I couldnt see much of the city. The driving here is crazy. It is the first time that I sat on the left side of a car as a passenger.  It dawned on me on the way to the guest house that we were also driving on the opposite side of the street.  I dont think they have ever heard of stop lights.  Picture a major city in the US with no stop lights at intersections.  Basically you just inch your way into the lane you want to be in and go.  This driving would take some getting used to.  I didnt see any accidents but there were stalled out cars in a the middle of the road in a couple of places to add to the challenge of driving.  There are also a lot of people just walking around on the sides of the roads.  We had several people just walk out in front of us.  Picture a busy road in the US and people just randomly walking out in front of traffic in the dark.  Tomorrow is another day of travel to Tenwek.  I belive it will be about a 4 hour drive in the morning.
