LAND!!

Hi everyone! I made it to Nairobi last monday at about 7:30 pm. The plane ride was great, but waaay too long! We stayed at a hostel just outside of Nairobi the first night and then went into Nairobi to go to the immigration office and see the city a bit. The traffic is crazy!! Crossing the street is kind of scary b/c there aren't many traffic signs, but in a big group it isn't too bad. From there we went for a 2 hour very bumpy bus ride to Nakuru Park where we have been staying all week. It's beautiful here! The compound is fenced in from the wildlife around the park. The babboons like to hop the fence and try to get into our rooms and the kitchen to get food. They're very amusing! At night, we go for game drives to see all of the animals in the park-giraffes, monkies, rhinos, zebra, water buffalo, snakes, etc. At night, we have also been playing a lot of intense mafia games. There are 32 students in my program, and I am really enjoying spendign time with all of them! Tomorrow, we're going back to Nairobi to meet our host families! I'm really excited, but a little nervous. School starts on Monday... We're at an internet cafe, so I have to make this short. I'll write more details soon!
