The week that was

It was a kawaida week. My life in Loitokitok is pretty much routine; I go to work, eat, sleep, and write a little once in a while, Oh! And I go over to Ark 2 Hotel every evening to watch Storm over Paradise:-), all tv-lovers without a tv set converge there. On Wednesday I learnt some Behavior Change Communication games – almost a week later my arms are still aching from throwing balls, catching balls and running, I really should try to exercise more – but it was fun. Have you ever been happy you got out of your house? I did on Thursday. I wanted to find out what is beyond my house. That story will be blogged some other time.

The new road is almost reaching Loitokitok and new shuttle ma3s are starting to ply the Nairobi-Loitokitok route. Nairobi has never been so accessible. Finally I can finish work on Friday afternoon, hop into a mat3 and go back to ‘Naisanity’. Being the late adopter I am, I should be the only Non-Loitokitokian who is yet to sample this civilization:-), that’s why Saturday morning saw me on a Secret Admirer bus to Nairobi.

Speaking of Nairobi, I did not do much of what I planned to do – it was Jamhuri day, most places were closed. The city was pleasantly deserted though, you could walk in peace. Pictures from the Kenya Burning Photo Exhibition are on display at the Hilton hotel Park and walking through it I could almost hack the poignancy in the air with a machete! There weren’t any nice movies worth going into; there is a Jim Carrey one coming soon called A Christmas carol and I’m a fan of Jim Carrey. That makes it number one on my must watch list

I have a day trip tomorrow to a town called Rombo. If it’s interesting enough for Snippets of a diary I will tell you about it.

Meanwhile you have yourself a nice week ahead.
