It's impossible to lie-in in Kenya

I was awoken at about 6am today by Bum-Bum the dog (NO idea why he's named that) barking right outside my window on my left-hand-side, and the TV blaring loud news about Obama becoming president on my right-hand-side.

Talking of Obama, the people here love him, and absurdly connect him to us. Obama is half Kenyan, half American; we are white, which they connect to American, and thus people scream things at us like 'sister Obama!' and ask if we know him several times a day.

So the Kenyans must have seen us coming and not liked the look of our teaching ability, as the teachers are striking until at least the end of this week, and so we have nothing to do but wander around Nakuru (and go on facebook more often than we should). We are thinking of staying at Lake Victoria for a few days, maybe Wednesday to Friday, but we're not sure yet. We definately need something else to do.

I have put some photos on facebook today so go and take a look :) Here's one for those of you without facebook:This is me and a monkey in City Park, Nairobi :)
