TGIF & Saturday

TGIF
March 25
It’s Friday and NO SCHOOL for me.  But I will go down to Legacy and talk to a teacher down there and pick up my change from one of my purchases.  Then I’ll try and find Roselee and see what safari her son is going on when he comes here from the States with his wife and sister in law.  After that it’s wash the clothes and get them hung up in my room.
Saturday
March 26
What a day. I was up at 5am and out the door at 5:30am and walked down to Legacy. Jesse and another guy walked me down to the school, so I wouldn’t be walking in the dark all by little ole self. Anyway got to school, and guess what? My 8th graders were in the classroom working on homework at 6am. 6am these kids are doing school work.  Where did these kids come from? I mean who does that? I’ll tell you who, Kenyan’s do that.  Well I was shocked. 
Then we were off to Eldoret to the airport and Poa Place. Now the airport was a total bust because the kids couldn’t go in the terminal for a tour, and apparently no planes fly into Eldoret on Saturday so nothing was taking off or landing. It was a waste of time. Then we left and went to Poa Place. Now this place is kinda like a zoo, but it’s not. It’s a mini fair but it’s not, and people go there to have weddings, conventions, and the like.  The Zoo aspect of Poa Place is kinda neat. They have 3 kinds of Monkey’s and a few baboons. There was a baby baboon that was just 2 months old. SO cute! Then there’s the snake house where they keep, wait for it ... snakes.  LOL But the best thing this place has are 2 chetah’s one is 8 months old and the other is 5, and 2 lions, male and female. Oh they have a camel as well, but I can’t stand camels so who cares?  haha After the kids saw the animals, then they went to the fair part of the park. There they road a Merry Go Round, but not one with animals. This one just had the swings and it went round and round. Then the kids did other things, and some of them went swimming. I didn’t cause the water was green and I’d look like the great white whale is I put on my suit and went into the water LOL.  The kids seemed to have fun, one thing I noticed here is that not all kids know how to swim, well only 2 of them could actually swim, the others faked it. It’s not like there isn’t any water around here, I just hope Owen, Amon, and Carlos all learn how to swim.
The ride home was like the ride there, HELL... That road is horrible in areas. We almost got into 2 wrecks. But then again our driver is an old man and he really should retire, but I don’t think they retire here. Not sure. LOL

  1. Kids seem to have fun where ever they go. I know my grandkids do.

    All our roads and freeways in California are in pretty good shape but we do have a lot of crazy drivers! :-)
