We haven't posted in a while because of lack of internet connection. So here's an update of what we have done so far.
Day 1 : June 15
On this day we drove to Meru, which took about 3 1/2 hours. During the long car ride we listened to music and slept. When we got there we unloaded the van which had 7 people and 10 suitcases!! We got to our grandparents house, and ate a dinner of chicken, greens, mashed potatoes and bananas, and beans. We then showered and went to bed.
Day 2: June 16
We woke up and had a breakfast of bread, fruit, and hot chocolate. We then took our time getting ready and then went to Mutuuma Primary School to look at the progress of the basketball court they are building and to play with kids. We got there at their lunch break and were mobbed by all the kids!! We learned that they like bubbles!! :) After we left the school, we went to lunch at Peter's Cafe. After we ate we went to our Aunt's Clinic. Then Nkatha got her hair done. Gatwiri and I (Izzy) played with Sam and Wangu. We played volleyball and Kemps. They ended up spending the night at our grandparents house.
Day 3: June 17
We got up early and went to Maua School of Nursing. My dad had a meeting there. After that we went to eat then went to Mutuuma Primary School again after their lunch breack so we wern't mobbed again. :) We went into the 8,7, and 6th grade classrooms and talked about the climate and seasons in Michigan. After that we taught the 1-5th graders a song with sign language called, The More we get Together. After Mutuuma, we packed up our stuff and went to Aunty Naito's house for dinner and shelter.
Day 4: June 18
Today we got up at about 8:30 and Nkatha, my mom, Mr. Mwenda, and I went to a museum while Gatwiri got her hair done. And we learned about some history in Kenya and saw monkeys, lizards, turtles, snakes, and a chameleon. We then went to Makena, which is a place where women hand-make wool rugs. We bought a couple of rugs the headed home for lunch. After lunch, we met up with our cousins and Gatwiri and I went swimming and the others were snacking and making bracelets up on an upper deck thing. After the swimming and snacking and stuff, we went home, took a shower, and ate dinner kinda late with our other cousins. After that we had ice cream and went to bed.
Day 5: June 19
Today we got up early and hit the road. We drove for about 2 hours for a pit stop at the equator.
This guy showed us that water north of the equator spins clockwise, and when it is south of the equator, spins counter-clockwise, and when it is on the equator, it doesn't spin at all. We then drove for about 30 minutes, before our car broke down. :( We then sat in the hot sun and showed some kids how to play a few games when some crazy dad (A.K.A. Mr,. Mwenda) came with another van and we piled into that and drove the rest of the way to Nairobi. We stayed at the Methodist Guest House for a short time then went to get some pizza and ice cream. After pizza we came back and took a shower and went to bed.
