Arrived Kenya ... minus Michael and Lisa

Kim, Byron, Cindy, Adam, Leon, John and I all arrived safely, and even a bit early to Nairobi. Lovely lovely Mennonite Guest House here. We had pretty good flights. I bit rough here and there, but those white knuckle, praying flyers amongst us worked hard to help the pilots keep the planes up. Tomorrow we leave for Kisumu, at 8:30 am. Arrive there around 3 pm. Kisumu is the third largest city in Kenya. Nairobi, the capital has about 3 m people. Kisumu is the center of the Luo people, of whom there are about 4 million in Kenya. The Mennonite Churches of Kenya are centered in Kisumu. It is also an area of fairly high rate of AIDS infection. A few years ago, it was about 25%. We won't do any biking tomorrow. It begins on Tuesday, and Michael and Lisa arrive, we hope, tomorrow evening, then fly to Kisumu early Tuesday to join the kick off of Cycle for Life: Build Peace. Stop AIDS.
