...and we have hit the rainy season

Well it appears that the rainy season has come early. I don't mind the rain- in fact it is really nice- very heavy rains- similar to what you would see in any African movie. However... the issue is that there are no side walks in Kenya and therefore all the streets and side of the roads are COVERED in mud. So it is quite the adventure to get to and from work, as well as to and from the gym. On the way to the gym this morning Lize and I were discussing the corruption in Nairobi and if only the government could control the corruption, Kenya might actually have money to fix their roads and build sidewalks. That would be nice- will it happen in the 2 years that I am living here... probably not.

I had a really great weekend. Hung out with friends- went to dinner, had drinks, explored more of Nairobi nightlife. Also managed to send off the CD of photographs I took for the African-Indian cookbook. Am really looking forward to hearing the comments on the photographs and can't wait to see them published!!

Work is getting busier and busier each day. Next week we are hosting a conference at the Hilton in the city. All of the Vice Chancellors from the Partner Institutions across Africa will be attending. As of now I am responsible for the Press along with two other coworkers, who thankfully have done this before. Should be an exciting week ahead and then next weekend OFF to LAMU!! Yeah! Let's hope there is sunshine there!
