Here I am sitting at the Nairobi airport waiting to board a plain to Wisconsin again.  I’ve been in Kenya for 6 weeks and a couple days.  Shorter stay than planned, but as I always say, the only firm plan I make is that plans will change.  So here I am, leaving on a jet plane.

These last 6 weeks have been packed.  The highlight of the whole time was that I have finally gotten the PEAR Cyber Café up and running in Ngurunit.  Still in its beginning stages, but the potential for growth is there.  There will definitely be a steep learning curve in terms of using the computers and the internet to the full potential.  The first week I spent upgrading the available computers from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10.  It was fun pretending I was a computer expert.  Haha.  The monkeys were definitely fascinated with the goings on in the cyber café.  Every once in a while a little face would per in the window for a moment.  I caught them hanging out in the trees watching the building.  I think they were more fascinated by my dogs than the computers.  Ha!  In town when I went to give out some basket sales money to the manager of the basket weaver’s group, there was one monkey on the roof of her shop that could not stop staring into the car at the dogs sleeping in the back seat.  Fascinating to me to watch the monkeys watching the dogs.

Anyway, the other awesome thing that has happened in my time here in Kenya is rain!!  It has finally rained plenty.  And still raining.  Beautiful.  Everything is green and fresh around both Ngurunit and Maralal.  Though still passed through some dry areas between the two places.  Raining well generally, but a bit spotty on coverage.

Not much else to report.  Lots of goat kids being born.  So cute.  I love watching them play.  They roam around the compound like little gangs.  Finding stones and chairs to jump on and off of.  Running and jumping and butting heads.  So little and sweet. 

I’m off to USA for just a month.  Will meet the Spring I expect.  Though just saw a picture of new snow in Madison yesterday.  Melting fast.  I left deep winter the last day of February coming this way.  Now flying into the Spring going back.  Will see what I will see.  And again miss my dogs, cats and goats for a bit.  Can’t wait till someone invents an instantaneous portal so I can just pop back and forth between my two loved places in an instant.  Spend every other day in each place.  Wouldn’t that be fabulous.  Well, soon to board.  Until next time, joy and peace to all….
