Monday Night

Today we conquered downtown Nairobi, and by conquered, I mean survived!! The vehicle traffic and human traffic are intense!! This is definitely not a good place to be if you have asthma. Walking around your lungs burn and it feels like you just ran a few miles because of all of the air pollution from the cars. We walked around all day in the overwhelming flood of people, and when I got home I was completely exhausted. My mom came home soon after me and we had tea together and watched the Tyra show. I just love her! I couldn’t have asked for a better mom away from home : ) It’s really strange: all of my friends in the MSID program keep talking about how different it is here and how much they miss home, but I find myself noticing the similarities to home. I do miss everyone, but I am really enjoying my time here!
