First couple of days in Common Ground

I arrived saftely of course I did something embarassing as soon as I got here. I was getting into the car and I got into what I thought was the passanger seat but I looked up and it was the drivers seat. Ha the driver was just standing there the whole time. I guess they drive on the other side of the road here.
My first night I stayed with Wendy in Nairobi and the next day I took the bus with an escort to Kitale. The bus ride was about 8 hours and it was a gorgeous ride. We passed through very rural areas and kids would run after our bus wanting us to buy fruit from them.

So far my stay at Pathfinders academy has been great. The kids go crazy for cameras and in the street all the kids call me mazungu, "white person". I would say right now I'm more of a red person because my neck is so burned.
Everyone is waiting for me right now so this post is going to be short! Next time i will bring my cord so I cam upload pictures!
