Back in Nairobi!

Okay, so its smelly and crowded, but I am SO happy to be back here. I'm at the Nakumatt junction, the cleanest mall in Kenya, with more white people than I've seen in 2 months. I'm pumped to be staying at Regina's again, with running water, toilets, and like 7 other volunteers. We had french toast today... it was like the best thing ever. Tomorrow we start working at Dr. George's clinic, and everyone has said its awesome. Apparently he lets you do whatever your comfortable with.. a few volunteers, have delivered babies, sutured up wounds, put in IVs, and done blood testing for malaria, HIV, and typhoid. I'M EXCITED!

We took the overnight bus from Mombasa last night. It was AWFUL! It is the bumpiest road in the world, seriously. Linn and I did not sleep at all. When we got to Nairobi, it was like 430 am, so we took a cab to Regina's. I haven't been to Regina's in 6 weeks, and Linn has never been. So we had such a hard time finding it, esp cause it was dark. Anyway, we finally found it, although I had to call James at like 6am to ask him where the f we were.

I cannot believe how fast time has gone by! We have one weekend left!!!! We're planning to go to Hell's Gate National Park and ride bikes. This will be interesting (picture me riding a bike lmao). Apparently monkeys chase you, too. I'm going to cry! Every time we are somewhere with monkeys I think "this time I will feed the monkeys and not run away" but when they come for me I panic and throw the food on the ground lol. Everyone is like "don't be stupid monkeys won't hurt you". BUT I would like to point out that 2 volunteers have been bitten by monkeys so far, and then they had to get like 23847239874923784923874 injections. f that s. I don't want to feed monkeys badly enough to get rabies....

In exactly 2 weeks I'll be on a flight to Amsterdam! This summer is going by too fast. I don't want to be back in stupid thunder bay, and go back to stupid school, and have to scrape stupid ice off my window. Linn is working on trying to set up her clinical placement in tbay though, she'll be my comic relief. huleh huleh.
