First Week ...

Hey so please bear with me as this is my first blog... I'm still trying to figure it out myself.
The first week was wonderful. We flew from Cranbrook to Calgary to Healthrow and arrived in Nairobi monday morning. We quickly went from there to Nyeri where I will be staying for the most of the 6 months working with Kimathi Institute of Technology. We stayed at the Banana Leaf Hotel for most of the first week then finally found a couple places to rent. we had many tours of the town as well as the college over the last week and so far everything was good. I know i am rushing thru much of the details but i will post those soon as well. This weekend we came to nairobi. Sunday we went to the Nairobi national park where we saw giraffes, a black rhino, wildabeast and all kinds of fun stuff (no lions or elephants though). On monday we went to the Canadian High Commision to register and on our way out, my coworker was hit by a land rover. So to the hospital it was, alot of time sorting out insurance and stuff. She is alright, no broken bones, just alot of bruising! Lucky girl! so i have been staying with her in the hospital for 2 nights and we are waiting for the doctor to tell her she can go home! But while at the hospital i did see some monkeys running over a roof so that was kinda cool :) I know i rushed through this quickly but I'll add more details when i get a chance. Right now i'm using the hospital computer and should go see how she is doing! more info and pics soon to come!
