I am in Webuye, the second-nearest village to my grandmother's farm. It's about a 45 minute drive to get here, and it's the closest place with internet access. We already had to get a Matatu and come into town for other errands -- buying blankets and water, finding a place to charge our rechargeables.

This is the very first chance I've had to get online since New York. Even the layover in Dubai and the night in Nairobi had nothing for me.

I've been excited to find a computer and let you know - I'm here, I'm well, and I've got SO MANY things to tell you already! And pictures galore, pictures galore.

Unfortunately I can't even get into it yet - I'm already being rushed out of here by my Auntie. She's finished her errands and now she's got a Matatu full of kids waiting in the hot sun for me to finish.

So. I'll just let you know that it's really been amazing so far. I miss everybody. Honestly I try really hard every day not to think about Minnesota, but with everything I experience I'm always thinking of the people who would appreciate it. And I'm doing my best to share these things with you so that you can.

Grandma says hello.
