Hi!

So, Tuesday I actually don't remember what I did, but after picking up Marley from school, I went with the driver to pickup Sarah. We stopped by a shopping mall to get a present for Abdullah, Sarah and Sasha's friend who turned one year older. Sarah wanted to buy books for him, and that was perfect for me, because I had to buy more books! I ended up buying three books. If you don't know me, I like to read a lot (just so you know) haha. We drove home and later that night we got picked up and drove to Mercury, that's an Irish pub/restaurant here. The birthday"boy" and his wife had invited 12 persons and they were so kind to invite me along, a complete stranger. We ended up at another restaurant because of the bad service at Mercury. It was a nice meal and a nice evening. Even though I didn't know anybody at the table (except Sasha and Sarah). But I defiantly need to get some friends at my own age, so I can be a part of the conversation! Haha! But it was a nice restaurant and some friendly people! We drove home and when we got home it was about 00.30, so we all jumped right to bed!

Wednesday, yesterday I woke up and the electricity was gone, so I couldn't take a hot shower, so I decided just to fresh me up and go for a walk. It was a hot day and I had no idea how long it was to the next shop (to buy water), but I had my sunglasses, my camera and some comfortable shoes on!  I walked for like almost 2 hours, including a walk around in the garden at an Indian temple. I also got some new friends. Two women who are sitting next to the road  EVERYDAY (besides Sundays off course) and selling stuff. I had a chat with them, and gave them some sweets, they loved that! I also met the Pastor at their church, and he was welcoming me to Kenya and said that I was welcome at the church. When I got home again the power was still gone, so I found a book and started to read! Then I played with the kids. We sang songs, made some puzzles and then I was told to hide a toy and they would find it. And the other way around. Later at around 6 the power came on again. From 07.15 - ca 18.00. Thats a long time! But I was told that there was a tree that had landed on a wire, so it was a problem in a big area. Well, we had some dinner and then sat in front of the telly with the kids. And then Usiku mwema! (good night in Swahili).

This morning, Sasha had an early flight for South Africa, a work-related trip. It was raining really bad all morning and I had a light headache (that unfortunately didn't go away). I watched telly, read in my book and then played with the kids. We pretended that we were pirates, aaaargh. When Sarah got home, we drove of, just me and her, to the movies. We watched "In time". A good movie I think, but it wasn't really Sarah's genre :) We got home and we decided to just go to our rooms. And now I'm writing blog, trying to find me on the map and chatting with friends. In some hours, Sarah's brother Hatim will arrive and stay here for some days. So, I will try to update as soon as possible!

Kisses and hugs here from Kenya!
