Square bread. They have square bread. The other is round. I am still figuring this out. They also have a toilet that deserves to be in an art museum. There have been many of these kinds of moments today. In case you were wondering, I slept straight through the night and woke up shortly before …
Dear Friends, Jambo! I am now in Nairobi at Wildebeest Camp safe and sound. The planes were on time and I enjoyed the trip though by the end, I was ready to be off the plane. The first leg, nearly ten hours, the plane had lots of empty seats so I got to stretch out …

I’ve been asked the current countdown, it is four and a half days. WOW. I’m trying not to think about it in those terms. I pray I’ll be ready. It’s a good thing that after tomorrow I have the day free to work on things. I still have to write a paper for the class …
