Our Kenyan home

After camping for 60+ days and traveling around for 3 weeks after that, Rainer and I are loving our settled home here in Kenya. We are in a large house with housemates- our volunteer coordinator, the program manager, and other volunteers (anywhere from 0-5 at a time). We have guards that are at the main gate 24-7. We have a shamba (garden) about 3 acres. The Limuru Children's Center uses alot of the produce to feed the boarders and for the lunch program.

Rainer and I have a nice room and share a bathroom. Our kitchen is fantastic!... with groceries ordered twice a week. I've enjoyed cooking on weekends and making desserts for the house. We have a housekeeper that prepares hot dinners M-F. For activities at the house, we have a ping-pong table and both Rainer and I have been reading ALOT.... always nice on the back porch.

Monkeys live in the surrounding trees!

Rainer loves the monkeys

This is our set-up to watch movies that we have downloaded from Itunes onto the Ipod... haha

Yes, we are keeping up with football as much as we can! Here's the scoreboard and schedule I made for our teams.

Rainer plays football in the yard with the guys as much as possible.
