The front rooms of our cottage (living room, kitchen, and dining area)
One of our two bedrooms.
Our bathroom - everything is tile and it is so humid here that when you shower, water runs down the walls and the mirror never unfogs!

For some reason, I could only upload 3 pictures this time... these are pictures of our cottage, Simba. It's very basic but works fine for us.

Today was great - we enjoyed church at Tigoni Baptist and then went to the Children's Centre to play with the kids for awhile - it was good to see John. We also found out that on Sundays, the boys at the orphanage do all of the cooking and cleaning and the girls get a day of rest - thought that was pretty cool (and maybe something we need to do at my house :). Later in the afternoon, Lauren and I went to Anastasia's house to visit and eat mandazi (Kenyan fried donuts). It was great to see her and to be able to catch up some. Tonight, we're eating dinner at Mike's, spending a little time on the Internet, and then Lauren is watching the World Cup final game at 9:30. Tomorrow, we go to the K-Branch of the Children's Centre where they serve about 100 day students (I think they're all 3-5 years old). We're going to play, paint faces, cover the fence with sidewalk chalk, etc... Should be fun (and exhausting!). We have a full week planned, so I'll try to update as often as possible.

P.S. At Anastasia's house, I was able to see Solomon - the boy who lost his ear in a terrible school bus accident. The reattachment surgery appears to be a success. His ear looks great and is healing well. He is still quite traumatized by the accident and hasn't returned to school yet.
