Last Days In The States

So I am currently home in Clearwater to see my mom and grandpa before I leave Friday morning. I have a few things I still need to get for my trip (long skirts, bug spray, baby wipes, etc.) as well as finding a Florida-themed gift for my host Margaret. Ariana texted me from her nifty satellite phone to tell me that it was a little chilly in Shalom City up in the mountains. It's winter south of the equator, but the low is around 50 and the high is a pleasant 75 for Nairobi. I also discovered that Lenana borders the Nairobi racetrack (horses!) and that I get to pet a cheetah at the Nairobi Animal Orphanage during orientation. Be jealous.

Thanks again to everyone who came to The Top and/or pool basketball last night. Ninakupenda. I'll miss you all, but maybe not as much as the half of my clothes that I accidentally left in Gainesville. Apparently the HIV support group that I'm working with is trying to start up a jewelery business to help pay for food and school fees, so expect some snazzy trinkets when I get back.
