Well I've got to leave the country. January 23rd my visa expires so I'm gonna get out of Africa for about a week. It's looking like I'll be headed to Europe. Actually my visa expired November 28 but I couldn't leave then cuz I had a team coming in from the States. I was illegal for a week, got a week extension, illegal for another week, then got a month extension. I gotta get out 'fore they kick me out. I'm thinkin' Rome...
The houses are looking great. We need to fab and install our cabinets, finish the counter tops, paint and install our fixtures. Tedious stuff.
Ryan got robbed in Nairobi a couple of days ago. It's a long story but I'll give you the gist. He's alone at night and three guys jump out of a car and stick guns to his head. They took 2 Iphones, his laptop, documents, basically everything he had. He flagged down some college kids in a car and they took him to the police station. Apparently these guys would hijack a car and at gunpoint make the person drive around while they would jump out and rob people. They hijacked a few different cars and robed over a dozen people that night. There was also a report of someone being shot.
On a lighter note...I got a new German Shepherd puppy yesterday. She's going to be a guard dog at our compound. I've forgotten how much work these little things are. Since I started typing this blog she peed in one room and pooped in another. Yes...Bud and Kim...in your house...but don't worry it wasn't on any of the carpets :)
