After around 26 hours of flight time, airport navigating and toting 50 pound bags for the orphanage, we arrived at the Scripture Mission Conference Center in Nairobi around midnight. On our morning run, some of the locals were happy to jog along side us. From here, we now travel by van to Kapsabet where we will be staying at the Grace of God Children's Center for the duration of the trip http://www.graceofgodchildren.org/  Even though we're exhausted and slowly adjusting to the 10 hour leap forward in time from Colorado, we couldn't be more excited to be in this beautiful area. Rumors on the plane stated that the air in Kapsabet was clean and the area was very different from even the Nairobi area. At breakfast this morning, we were greeted hearty cuts of bacon, fresh eggs, a few cereals with some bread and cheese. What I put on my plate today would have been roughly a quarter of my regular breakfast after logging morning miles, yet it was enough. I have a feeling that even though we might not be presented with copious amounts of food like in the States, our bodies will learn to be more efficient with the nutrients.
For now, its onward and upward to Kapsabet!

Your blogger, David.
