Hey everyone...I'm spoiling you with two posts in one day, but I finally got this to work.
My family is really sweet here in Nairobi. I have a mother-Mama Tracy or Jennifer who works as a manageress at a Ethopian restaurant, father-Baba Tracy or Teddy who is a tour guide, so he's not home very often, a 7 year old sister named Tracy (that's where Mama and Baba Tracy come from, it's a cultural way of naming their parents), and a cousin who takes care of the house named Eddah-she's 20 and hoping to attend college in a few months. I'm really enjoying my family and they are really sweet to me.
I'm starting to get real used to bucket baths as sometimes the water does not work at all and if it does, it's freezing cold. I share a room at my house with Eddah and Tracy. On Saturday, my first night with the family, I learned to do laundry by hand and to cook chipati ( a traditional African food which is like a heavy (and super greasy) tortilla). I told the family that I would make guacamole for them one day and they were super excited!
Anyway, I'm doing well, other than an upset stomach from all the grease...
Kwaheri!
