uhhhh, i just did that thing where a long post just got deleted... so you're getting the incredibly truncated version.
first and foremost: we flew, we landed, we're safe.
i'm in sensory overload, we're happy. my word of the day is juxtaposition. the contrast between the various lifestyles within kenya is... baffling.
mum+dad, sean got a new sim card, so the number you have is wrong. we're 11timezones apart, so your 11am is our 10pm. his new number is 011 254 738 098 130.
i think we're off soon to have dinner. sean and i just accidentally took a six hour nap, and its time for supper. we'll be waking up bright and early tomorrow to head for jinja. sean's face lights up anytime jinja is mentioned. all i can think about is how excited i am to be in and learn about this place that defines sean. *smiles*
lots of love.

I'd love to hear more about the juxtapositions! Will you keep a journal of what you see and learn or is that what this blog is for? It's going to be so interesting to see it through your eyes! Thanks for the new tel# - will try not to wake you up!!! hugs...
Mom
your parents are the cutest EVER. i'm going to chile with my mom in 15 days and i'm getting those countdown jitters you guys were talking about.
i'm so happy you're finally there & getting into the swing of things. after months of experiencing things theoretically [through books, stories, sean], it must be refreshing to REALLY experience africa and form your own perspective.
don't let this blog die. keep it/us posted. we miss you, but don't let it take away from your trip. are you tanned like mad yet?
ahhh! I'm so glad you guys got to at least Africa ok! I missed you lots tonight Leah, i hung with Rogers people and would have loved to rant to you about it...i'm lonely...Jordan had Phil and Peter over last night and i just hid in my room. And Anthony randomly slept on the couch on our porch because he lost his house keys and couldn't get in to his house...RANDOM...ummm I love you guys! Call me sometime soon or i'll call you!!
