Moving Day:

After much anticipation we finally got the word that we could move into our new apartment. Orientation had end about a week and a half ago and we were staying at a catholic guesthouse and spiritual center called “Rosa Mystica”. While the accommodations were great, both Catherine and I were keen to have more permanent housing.

It was Tuesday morning and it felt like time had chosen to move as fast as Nairobi traffic on Friday. Last night we had received an sms (text) from Phyllis (our site coordinator) that she had received the key to the apartment. The office driver would pass by the next morning to take us to the apartment.

At 10:30am our car came and we loaded our luggage. The apartment was only a short drive from where we had been staying. A few minutes later we got our first look at our new place. It is a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Located on the first floor of the building, the apartment windows overlook the pool and a small fitness room. All in all it is a great place to live.
