ry. The surgery went well, the cast is off, and physiotherapy continues. Next week on March 17th we head out to resume our travels in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. We’re soooo excited!The even bigger news is we’re moving to Kenya! We fly to Nairobi on May 1st. During our time in Nairobi in December, Scott was offered a job to work on HIV research with Michael Chung’s group through the University of Washington (see earlier post). Kathleen found some wonderful opportunities to discover beautiful African fabrics. She’ll also be looking into Kenya Fashion Week, an annual fashion gala in Nairobi (http://www.fafakenya.org/).
We really enjoyed our visit to Kenya and are looking forward to living there. We found the people, wildlife and countryside fascinating. We think it will be a great opportunity to experience amazing Africa. There will be many things to discover in Kenya. Nairobi National Park, which is just four miles from downtown Nairobi, has lions, rhinos, giraffes and more. There’s also the vibrant Nairobi arts and music scene, the Karen Blixen Museum (think Out of Africa), other wonderful museums, weekends for birding, safaris, the gorgeous Kenyan coast, and much more. (Check out http://nairobinow.wordpress.com/.) Kenya boasts a mild climate with an elevation of 2,000 ft above sea level. So, while it’s close to the equator, the temperature stays mild year round.
We’ll continue to keep you posted as we go on our way to Kenya.
