This morning started off with a trip to the convenience store to purchase all of the things that we may have forgotten or run out of (including aloe-everyone is at least a little bit more pink from the sun than they were when we started last week). Almost everyone also purchased a soda or two for twenty shillings apiece (about 30 cents). After, we continued the job we started yesterday on the property, including moving large piles of dirt and topsoil to create an area where the children can play. The dirt here is a strong red color, and by the end of the day we were all nice and "tan" from all the dust sticking to our sunscreen.
It is the end of the day here, and we are all exhausted and sore from two long days of work. We are looking forward to the welcomed break of the weekend. Saturday, that is, tomorrow, we will be taking a two hour drive to a resort where we can opt to either go for a hike in a rainforest or a bat cave. Then on Sunday we will be at the Open Arms Village for a traditional Kenyan goat roast (more on that later...), which we are all excited about. We'll post more pictures from the last couple of days tomorrow!
