finally an update you say!

I have officially become slack in my blogging - 8 days since my last post- terrible! And I actually get annoyed with other people who don't update their blog, so here it goes :)

Things in Nairobi are calm but not peaceful as my friend Kevina puts it. I think that is an accurate way to describe the feeling in Kenya. Outside of Nairobi tensions are still very much visible and although Koffi Annan has been working with Kibaki and Raila to come to an agreement, I think that any agreement reached will still have underlying issues. We shall see. I'm embarrassed to say that I actually have been following the Democratic US primaries with more enthusiasm and interest than the issues right in the country I live in. Perhaps that has to do with the fact that I am not a citizen of Kenya.

The weekend was really nice. Met up with friends, went to the National Park, out to eat, ran (in preparation for a half marathon I am doing in the UK March 2)- aye ya ya !

Hard to believe that time is coming to end in Kenya, still awhile yet, but time does go by so quickly- have to make sure I get out and see more of Africa before heading back to Canada. So many places I would love to visit- South Africa, Morocco, Mozambique, Mali,... really anywhere!
