Blogging?

Well...we had hoped to enjoy blogging, using this as a way of journaling and capturing all the special, productive and sometimes hilarious happenings that mark our every day in Kenya. We knew that internet access might be sparse, but we had no idea how rare our opportunity to connect with you would be. When we arrived in Nairobi, we were told that a ship had pulled into the port of Mombasa and promptly dropped anchor right on an undersea fiber optic cable, severing it. So we could expect to have very little Internet access during our stay. That has proved to be the case. Finally, here in Naivasha, we are online. Outside,the season of the long rains seems to have finally begun. The dusty earth is responding to the downpour by giving off the most lovely floral fragrance. The people here, so many of them farmers who grow food for their families, pass us, hold out their hands to catch the raindrops, look at us and say, "What a blessing. It is a blessing."----- Only one little boy, like children everywhere, sings in perfect English, "Rain, rain, go away, come again another day..."
