Thursday 8/6, we headed back to Nairobi. I was a little sad to leave Kijabe since I was having such a great time at the hospital, but still so excited to see some friends. As we got closer to town, I got more and more excited! Funny enough, the orphanage I am staying at is sponsored by AIM and resides in the house I used to live in! So literally…it felt like home! We pulled onto Karanja road and the sights and smells were so familiar! I just love it here! 
The housekeeper of our landlord (the Mzee) was right at the door when I got there so I sat with her for a while and then hopped on a matatu and made my way to Nakumat (the grocery store). …had some dinner and picked up a few things for my next journey. I found my way home – the familiarity of riding around in a matatu was awesome! Always an adventure! It quickly felt 100% normal!
So, I’m just here for the day and heading out to Zimbabwe in the morning…..it’s a packed day full of visits and some good quality time at the internet cafe!
Zimbabwe won’t likely have much internet service so I probably won’t be able to do any updating again until we are back in South Africa….August 17th.
So, I’m off to a great day in Nairobi! I am so blessed to be here and loving every second!
