So far... Sun, Safaris and Swahili.

I only have a few minutes so I'm just going to write three things.

1. Yesterday morning when I woke up in Nakuru National Park I brushed my teeth while watching a group of zebras walk by.

2. Today while we were walking down the street in Nakuru (a small city), a man sitting by the side of the road shouted to us "Yes we can!" while grinning.

3. Tomorrow I move in with my host family: a mother, two daughters (10 and 14), and a 4-year-old little boy. I'm excited, but a little nervous too!

I miss you all... Kwaheri!

    HI B,
    What a fun post to read! I told several friends at work today and they all got a kick out of hearing your first "stories"- Keep them coming! Hope the move-in goes well. I'm sure they will love having you there- just make sure they know that it's only temporary!

    I still can't believe you are in Africa!

    Much love to you,
    Mom

    Hey Bridget!

    Are zebras as cool in person as they are on TV? I am so jealous! I hope you have a great time, and I am so looking forward to your blog!

    Also, just so you know, when you get back, I will have to drive you in my own CAR! I am getting a '93 Jeep wrangler!

    Talk to you soon!
    love,
    Your cool cousin Colin

    Bridget,

    Loved your alliterative blog headline and the pattern of threes in title and content. Blogging with journalistic creativity!

    Colin should join you with his soon to possess Jeep Wrangler It has roll bar, removable roof and sets high to see wildlife and is small enough to maneveur in narrow Nairobi streets.

    Moe turned 24 yesterday. We celebrated her birthday and Eileen's with the McConnon clan on Sunday and Teresa and Brian got to see you blog, for they had not seen it yet. All were in awe.

    We wish you well in becoming part of your host family and your class work.

    love and joy to you.

    Mike
