Today marks the end of month five on the fellowship, which is hard pretty hard to believe! I thought I'd mark the occasion by documenting some of this weekend. Eva and Christina came to visit, and we spent our time like this:
Friday: After work we celebrated Nairobi Restaurant Week by meeting up with friends at Soi, a new Thai restaurant nearby. The food was delish and we welcomed the excuse to dress up.
Saturday: Christina and I walked to Toi market in the morning to run some errands. In the afternoon, Rebecca and I met our friend Alex at the New Life Home Trust, an orphanage down the block from our apartment, where Alex volunteers. We spent two hours helping with the infants - playing with them, feeding them, and getting them to bed. I spent a good ten years babysitting at home, and I so enjoyed meeting the babies and helping out. I'm planning on going back regularly! In the evening, Rebecca, Christina, Eva and I met a family for dinner at one of the best Indian restaurants in Nairobi.
Sunday: Today we headed to the Kitengela Glass factory and had a great time exploring the grounds and seeing some stunning glasswork. Pictures from today follow!
