I am in Kenya...

...and it is not as bad as the news reports say, especially since I am not in the west. Nairobi is business as usual, and it is HUGE! I'm not used to such big, bustling cities.

I don't have much time to write, since my friends are leaving the cyber cafe soon, but I will say this: I am safe, I have not witnessed any violence, and do not believe the latest U.S. news reports that Al Qaeda was involved in the post-election violence. That is a load of you-know-what. People here have many opinions about the crisis, but they all agree that the U.S. should best mind its own business, especially since it has shown itself to be partisan.

I'll leave it at that- I'll try to write more later in the week. I miss you all!

Kesley,

Thank you for the update. I've been following the news fairly closely, both US and allAfrica.com, and I have not seen any mention of Al Qaeda in regards to Kenya.

Take care, of course, and please let us know how many are in your group, if you have met your host family, and what you are doing!

Glad you're safe, Kelsey. Can't wait to hear about how popular Hilary Duff is over there!
