A Few Kenyan Adventures

Life in Maua, Kenya (I thought we were going to Maui??) is a little different, so far...

-We have had Geckos in the room (he knew nothing about Car insurance..I asked him)
-Yeah and we had a rather large, very large mouse (I refuse to say rat) in the courtyard,, luckily all the room doors were shut.
-OK (mom don't freak) when we were visiting with the Maua Methodist church staff, we heard gun shots and yelling. Turns out couple of locals robbed (gunless) a cigarette store and then since they had so much luck they tried the bank.. The police arrived and shot their guns into the air, and a little tear gas, and all is well.
-was walking back from the internet cafe, when a younger member of our team with me, was patted on the "back" very quickly by a "Mirra" addict, You wouldve thought he wouldve be attracted to me, hmmmmmmm
-two days ago the internet cafe lost power and i lost my blog.
-yesterday no internet service .. It is kenya and rural after all.
-Hey, if you leave your clothes on the floor, in your hotel room, they will launder them for you.. Just like home...
-Sadly, last night thought my halo had at last fallen and nearly suffocated me .. turns out it was my mosquito net ring.
