update through Sunday

We finished our final two days teaching at Red Rose Thu and Fri, and students there were very appreciative of our efforts there. Our group went to see the new Harry Potter movie at the mall one block away -- reviews of the movie varied, but seeing a movie in Kenya was kind of fun.

Saturday (yesterday) we celebrated with about 50 students from Red Rose who have lost at least one parent -- it was a day of seeing baby elephants and rhinos being fed, and of feeding giraffes ourselves at the Giraffe Center. After lunch, we played soccer and rode camels and danced and hung out with our new friends until 4 p.m. We then came back to Rosa Mystica, changed into nice clothing, and went out to dinner at Carnivore (google it -- it's an amazing restaurant experience).

Now it's Sunday morning and we are packing and/or doing some last minute shopping.

This will likely be our last blog entry, as we're soon checking out of Rosa Mystica.

Our flight is due in around 1:30 to Dulles on Monday afternoon -- but you knew that :)

We'll see many of you blog readers there...
