So this will be somewhat of a short post since it is late and it has been a very long day.  But it gives me an opportunity to tell you a bit what a day looks like here in Kenya.

This morning the alarm went off at 6:30AM.  But I wasn't on my feet till 7.  What man can role out of bed when he has the most beautiful woman on earth laying beside him? :)  Janine was soon to follow.
Breakfast was french-pressed coffee, toast that was made on the stove, a banana, and this morning we had a treat. A pop-tart packed in from the states!

We have an 8AM team check-in every morning to talk about the happenings of the day.  From there I had a meeting here at the Nuru house at 9AM.  I then had some computer work to do, had some pasta with avocado, parmesan cheese, and siracha. Then I walked to the RTC for a 1 on 1 meeting with my Kenyan counter-part.  I was there till 3:30PM and walked the 30 mins home in a rush to beat the rain.  It started pouring not to long after I was in my room.

Here's a picture of our bedroom on the day we moved in.

Janine got home and we worked out for about 30 mins in our room and then I got a shower.  Then I started prepping for my 6PM skype call back to the states with my director, which occurs twice, weekly.  That lasted an hour, which lead right into dinner at 7PM.  We have team dinners, where we all eat together here at the house 6 times a week.  3 people help to cook each night.

I ate, did a bit more work, then we had a special team-wide call back to the states at 9PM which lasted and hour.  So at 10PM I finally was able to brush my teeth, sweep our bedroom floor, put the mosquito net around the bed, listen to PJ sing a few songs on iTunes and get ready for bed.

So that is pretty close to a typical day for us, only a bit slower than normal :)
