As zero headway seems to have been made with the Kenyan political situation, life in Nairobi attempts to go on. Businesses are open, traffic has once again filled the streets, but very little is necessary to trigger the tensions that still exist.

With our Kenya program office open again, I have backed away from direct involvement with our relief response, and have been trying to get back on top of the other facets of my job.

I’m looking forward to getting some rest over the weekend…or should I say change. I’m planning to leave Nairobi before dawn tomorrow morning and spend the next couple of days on Mount Kenya. David is still scheduled to arrive here in less than two weeks now, and then the real expedition will begin. But in the meantime, this weekend particularly, I want to spend time doing some high altitude training and scope out our route a little bit. I’m excited to shoulder my pack and be in cool mountain air.
