It has been just over a week since I arrived in Kenya and already I have had a lifetimes worth of experiences. Things here are so much different than in the U.S. and everyday is a new adventure. So far I have visited a few clinics, Maasai villages, went on a safari, and experienced a lot of the local culture and traditions. I am starting to miss the everyday amenities from back home, especially diet coke, cold foods, and hot showers, but overall I am having a great time.
Every morning I wake up to Mt. Kilimanjaro, such a magnificent land form. During breakfast, we always have a troop of monkeys and baboons that play around in the yard.
When I'm not out in the field getting to experience all that Kenya has to offer, I am stuck in lectures filling my brain with loads of information. I am working on a research project that will assess the types of illnesses in the Kimana area. Most days are go-go-go! from 7:30am-11pm.
The internet here is not so great, so it's hard for me to update my blog as often as I would like, but I will do it as much as I can!
kwaheri! (goodbye in swahili)
