slept too late to go to the market

amazing what some quality drapes can do. i should invest in some for my apartment! in any case, I did go to Costa do Sol for lunch, and had more prawns (i may have reached my limit) and enjoyed the view of the water. The taxi driver on the way back played Celine Dion in his car. When I got back to my hotel, I grabbed a book and sat by the pool while the sun went down. I noticed on Thursday when I was exploring a bit that there seemed to be a small stadium next door, and I could hear a lot of cheering and general fun being had this afternoon.

Tomorrow I fly up to Quelimane, where the field work of my program in Mozambique occurs. I'm looking forward to meeting more colleagues, visiting some of the work sites, and getting a better sense of the value of the work I do.

Uploaded more pictures - the best ones should come next week:

So good to get out of the city for a bit. This was the view on the way back to the hotel: From Nairobi, take 2 Pretty clo...

The Kenya office has an office assistant named Derek who's job it is to bring us all tea or coffee when we arrive, and at an appointed time in the afternoon. I can't get used to it. He's a sweetheart, though.
