We successfully made it to Nairobi!!! It was a good flight and I was able to get some good sleep in. When we got to Nairobi we found 4 of our 6 bags of luggage. The other 2 are missing somewhere. The good thing is that the bags we have are all our clothes:) We were met by two men, Julius and Charles and they are our driver and tour guide for the trip. After leaving the airport, we ran a few errands and then went to the Virginia Home.
The area where the Home is located is in the middle of the slums and is very dusty. They have not had much rain so with the wind blowing everything is covered in orange dirt. As we drove through the streets all the little kids would smile and wave! It was so cute!!!!! We met all the kids at the orphanage and received many hugs and lots of questions. They were especially glad to see Harrison. I didn't have my camera today but will take lots of pictures tomorrow. Everyone here is very nice and very welcoming.
Then we headed to Alice's house, where we will be staying. She lives in town on the side of a mountain. The landscape is beautiful and as I sit here at her dining room table looking outside there is a herd of cows being led down the street. She has a breath taking view of the mountains. We are all about to eat dinner and go to bed early. We are exhausted from all the travels.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!!!!!
