Stop off in Kenya

I'm now in Lockichoggio (northen kenya near the sudanese border) waiting to fly to sudan tommorow. After a smooth journey on thursday night I got to Nairobi on friday morning and had quite a relaxing weekend. After going in to the office on friday afternoon I went out for Sushi in the evening (not very Kenyan, but very tasty) and nearly fell asleep in the resturant! After a long lie in on sat I was out again in the afternoon and evening - I arrived the right weekend for parties .... a garden party in the afternoon and a birthday party in the evening. It was great as I got to meet lots of medair people but also people from other organisations. I went to a massive pentacostal church on Sunday which was fun.
I had busy day on monday meeting everyone at the nairobi office and getting breifed, then we had a fire and ate pizza and drank wine on the patio of the team house. If i get chance later on I'll add some pictures of the house in Nairobi - its very nice will be great to get back there after my 8 weeks on the feild - as you will see i'm not roughing at all there!
Yesterday I flew here to Loki and I've been learning all about what goes on here .. i think its hot but everyone who has come from Sudan says its cool ... I'll find out tommorow.
I fly really early tommorow morning then get a boat up the Nile to the town where our base and health centre is and set up my tent.
The builders are on the same flight as me so should have some builidings soon!
would love to hear your news by email and value all your thoughts and prayers
Love Alice x
