January visitors

It is hard to keep up with blogging! I guess we were still in recovery mode from Christmas and New Year's.  We're recovered now and looking forward to a lot of visitors in January - my parents and a dear friend come next week!

CURE International is where I've been working for the past 5 1/2 years. I began at their hospital in Kijabe, and then moved to their hospital in the UAE.  I'm back in Kijabe now, but working for the Clubfoot Program and am primarily based from home. I'll have more info on that later, I think.  CURE is hosting a big conference for the Executive, Medical, and Spiritual Directors for all their hospitals here in Nairobi.  This means that we have friends coming to Kenya!

On Saturday we drove into the hotel where the conference is to see some friends from the UAE. Jessie & Trey moved to the UAE after we were already planning to leave. Having a couple our age there the last few months significantly improved things for us.  It was wonderful to see them -- and others from around CURE -- again.  We had lunch together with the Medical Director of Oasis, and then went out exploring.  We started by checking out a construction site for a housing complex that Dexter & I had been interested in seeing.  That was a beautiful ride, through back roads and coffee farms.  No photos, sorry. Maybe Jessie will post some on her blog of the coffee. :)  Then we landed at ArtCafe a new coffee shop her in Kenya that serves good food. And Creme Brulee. What more could a girl ask for?

 you gotta love the hurried sign making. . .

 ok, I admit it: I got the tea because I love the way they serve it. this pitcher is so stinkin' cute!
