Ok, so I completely forgot that winter in Kenya is actually winter. It's about 52 degrees right now and will get down to the high 30's tonight. I completely forgot socks and shoes. We've got a full house tonight, all roads led to Nairobi. It's Phil (our new doc), Martine (senior tech advisor for adherence/treatment support), Sandra (senior lab specialist), Shadrack (lab specialist) and me. Martine knows a great Mediterranean restaurant here and we are heading over at 7.
Nairobi always looks so strange to me, big concrete tenement buildings. A lot of the city looks like it was constructed by the Soviets circa 1982. And the traffic is quite a hoot. It has traffic lights, but I'm not sure what they meanb because everytime I see one showing red everyone drives through. Beats me. And a two lane road really really means four lanes of cars should weave in and out of each other.
Much like Kigali. Did I mention that in advance of the big International HIV meeting they put traffic lights everywhere. Small problem, I don't think anyone really knows how to use them yet. There are folks flying through them because they don't really know what they mean yet. Looking forward to some good old B'more traffic cams. It's the little things you miss you know.
I'll try and get some snaps this week and update while I've got access to rockin internet access thanks to Phil and his son.
Talk to you all soon.
Love,
Kik (aka Kristen or Krissie depending on whose readin')
