Well, it is about a week since we planned on going to Naivasha, but rain has prevented us from using the roads to get the bales, so we have been sitting around, doing busy work. We visited the place the restaurant will be built. The location is nice, but it is a pretty big trip. Because we don't have a car, our journey consisted of matatus, walking, and even hitchhiking. Hitching a ride was great. We rode in this huge Mack truck with about four other people. It was a lot of fun.
Other than that, Alex and I have been hanging around town, trying to blend in (which is pretty difficult). There hasn't been a day where we were in the city and we haven't been asked on a safari. Also, because we are white, everyone takes advantage of us. People can be horrible. I have never been so discouraged by humanity. Being black in America is nothing compared to being white in Kenya.
Even with all the adversity, Nairobi is a great place, and I am having the time of my life. It all seems normal, or second nature to me now, and I have only been here for ten days. God has really strengthened my faith and beliefs, and He has also opened my eyes to the rest of His creation. All in all, this is the greatest and most life-changing trip of my life, and, at the moment, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
