Nairobi

Good morning everyone,

We are here in Nairobi, safe and sound but pretty worn out.  We board in about 2 hours and should be in Lilongwe around 11:00 am (2:00 am for you).   I'm almost glad TSA threw the 10 pounds of peanut butter away as I might have ditched it myself by now.

Today I hope to get a team photo and introduce us to you. The drive from Lilongwe to Bowe will be at least two hours more.  Last year there was a fuel shortage and gasoline was nearly $8/liter on the black market.  I believe the shortage has resolved.

Other than the minor TSA issues, the journey so far has been uneventful.  We are excited to get to the mission, settle in and get organized so we can start work tomorrow. Typically, Mass is at 6:00 am, breakfast follows and then off to see patients until sundown.
