Touchdown: Nairobi

After a red eye flight, a day spent wandering around London, and another red eye flight I've arrived in Nairobi. The familiar scent, the Kenyan accents, the cool cloudy weather was a pleasant blessing.

I waited for my bag until they didn't have any more bags left to unload and they notified me that my bag wasn't put on the plane in London. So I prepared to leave my bag and hit the road with just my carry on backpack. Just for kicks I looked into when they thought it would arrive and how much it would be to change my ticket to Rwanda. To make a tedious story short...I'll be staying the night in Nairobi tonight, hopefully getting my bag tomorrow and in Rwanda my tomorrow afternoon. I figure the wait is worth having my stuff. It would be more money to have to buy all new clothes out here.

Otherwise things are good and pleasant. I'm excited about this trip but it isn't a very emotional excitement. It's more like a peace and joy to be doing the things you love to do and be in the places where you love to be.
