I Made It!!!

Hello everyone... i made it here just fine. The last three days have been a non stop... i wish i could share everything with you. Nairobi is extremely busy, dirty, loud, but very western. I don't care for the city much, but we got to visit a Masai village yesterday. We drove an hour and a half out there to find the Masai doing what they've done forever... herding cattle. We saw some beautiful country. The team is headed out again today to finish the filter and do some more tests. The workers at the hotel are so friendly and helpful... willing to walk you places in the rain, so many stories. I may have the opportunity to go to stay at a Masai village with Ole and Peter... two Masai who are hired drivers, but good friends. We have been given an insiders tour of Kenya so far... not the tourist view, but the view that only a Kenyan would be able to show us. We saw a Jua-Kali which literally means hot sun, but is a place that can best be described as a sweatshop mixed filled with entrepreneurs and engineers. We had a guided tour through the noisest most tetanus ridden environment I have ever seen. More to come later... I love you all.
