Quick Update

I'm sitting in the kitchen with watery eyes from the onions Milanne just chopped up. We're making tomato sauce for dinner tonight. Actually, I'll correct myself. Milanne is making tomato sauce while I play the role of DJ. I crushed some garlic and already let it burn... whoops.

Milanne's parents arrive tonight and will be joining us on our adventures for the next few weeks. We are heading to Kakamega Rainforest for the weekend, then spending a few days in Mlolongo before heading out on safari the following weekend.

This afternoon, Deb, Katie, Milanne, and I went to visit Lynda and baby Cedric at her house. I got to see her house for myself this time. It couldn't have been much bigger than 10' x 12'. Two foam beds on the floor with a blue mosquito netting strung above. She has a high ceiling but there are gaps between the pieces of corrugated metal that could easily allow water to seep in when it rains. There is a small 1' x 1' window with a screen stapled on and wooden door attached to block the light. In comparison to the other places I've seen, her place was actually quite nice. Size aside, the walls and floor were clean and looked new. That being said, her entire house is about the size of my parent's closet.
