Hello,
Leroy and I are now sleeping on the proper schedule. We are also getting much closer to our granddaughter, Lexi. She even seems to enjoy being with us. She chatters a great deal, but we do not understand most of it. People have commented that she speaks Swahili much better than she does English.
The people of Kenya seem to be hard working, strong, intelligent, kind and friendly. They, of course, do things differently than we do. Yesterday the electricity was scheduled to be turned off so they could work on something from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. but it did not come back on at 6:00. Instead we saw some flashes of light after 7:00. That happened at least three or four times before it came on and stayed on after 9:00. It made cooking a creative activity. They have a gas stove, but the gas ran out before everything was quite finished. Some of us ate it anyway since we were too hungry. Flexibility and adaptability is key to survival here. Leroy and I were especially sorry that we had lost our flashlight on Safari.
Paula
