FROM KENYA WITH PHOTOS…...
Here’s the first AUA guesthouse in place - others are being built, and next door the Division has several. This is where we’re staying - upper floor on the side away from the camera:

There is a kitchenette with microwave, toaster, stove/oven and refrigerator/freezer. At the dining table, we have a glass fiber for internet access, which is slow, and intermittent at times. There are two bedrooms - one double and one twin, with a bathroom in between. The furniture is local manufacture, serviceable rather than nicely made, but we have everything necessary for comfort. More - there’s also a TV that probably has satellite feed of some kind - they show CNN in the cafeteria at supper.
Here’s the view out the french doors onto our balcony:

After lunch, we lay down to sleep a bit - the AUA provost called me after about 3 hours (woke me up, but hey!) and came over to talk a bit. While we stood on the balcony, I saw a bird down below - it’s some kind of ibis that sorts through the grass and leaves looking for its meal…..
.
.
Bunch of black and white crows around, plus something that looks and acts like a mockingbird, a swallow with a real swallow-tail, something with a rusty tail, and lots of other stuff.
Having fun so far. More later.
