Still raining

and how. More like MONSOONING. Speaking of lots of water, there's apparently a typhoon headed directly for Mombasa, so Priti and I will NOT be going there this weekend. That and the planning was becoming quite the nightmare, as we'd have to ride to Nairobi on some random bus, then take a train from Nairobi to Mombasa. And you can't buy train tickets until you're at the station, at which point, if the train is full, you have to wait for 2 to 3 more days until the NEXT train to Mombasa... so... maybe next time, eh?

We may attempt to take a day trip to Umbrella Falls, or we may end up staying around town for the weekend, which would be fine with me also. Then next weekend Masai Mara! Can anyone tell how excited I am???

We found out today that Diana is being taken to Neema House, the local orphanage for HIV+ children and orphans due to HIV. It's run by a Kenyan couple whom Sarah Ellen knows very well. It's a great place for her, and I'm so excited that she'll have a nice place to live, with loving a parents and lots of siblings to play with. The sad part is that she's probably going there today, so I went to Sally Test and took a bazillion more pictures and even a 60 second video of her scooting around on a truck. SO cute.
