So much is different here, there is so much to take in and write about all at once and I'm afraid I may forget things!
   So lets start from the beginning, from yesterday. I woke at 7.30 which I was pretty annoyed about. The noises from outside seemed to seep through my ear plugs; music, shouting from the children who woke up so early! Plus there was a cockerel who crowed the dawn at least 10 times. I got up to try and close the windows (which wouldn't close) and Dorcas the 'house manager' casually walks in!
   We then met everyone at Tuskys and jumped in a matatu to have a tour. I was squashed in the front with Rawllince and the driver, and I have never had such a bumpy ride! The roads are dust roads and the pot-holes many. To call them pot holes is an understatement - they are great big dents in the road which we were manoevering onto the other side to miss!
   We were shown many places, and I am afraid to try and find my own way because there is so much to remember! We arrived at the place by the lake where we were to eat, it was lovely! Tables lined outside under decking, and right by the water. We ate fish and kale in a sauce with chipatis.
   Afterwards we walked into town and me and Rawllince spent an hour in a cyber cafe where I spoke to Dean and Megan which I was so happy about! It gave me a real boost and made me realise how much I missed home seeing pictures on facebook! It only cost 60 shillings too which was great! We then joined everyone at a place which was playing live music, and had a dance! I wish I could dance, it seems to come so naturally to them! Although sometimes the women dance very provocatively.
   We walked home and I was so tired!
