FIRST DAYS IN KENYA :: NAIROBI::

We haven't taken so many photos the last few days but here is a bit of what we've been up to so far...Starting with a really long and tiring trip from New York City to Nairobi stopping for a couple of hours in London... Adjusting to the time has been a bit hard given that we've had to wake up early every day for our workshop...Got off at Nairobi airport at around 10pm and like any good tourist we had to take a photo in front of the plane... minutes later someone told us not to do that but we had taken a photo anyway!The next morning we were still waiting for some volunteers to arrive so they gave us a free day. We went to the city and experienced the public transportation, some minibuses called matatus with loud music and low ceilings even for us. The matatu took us to the Business center in Nairobi where we walked around for a bit and then head back to the Guest house where we are staying. We are like 20 volunteers in total, all volunteering somewhere in Kenya, not so many in Mombasa where we are going though, maybe three more around where we'll be posted. So far it's been nice, two full days of Kiswahili crash course and one more week or preparation before heading to where we'll be living.Stay tuned for more later!
