This took me long enough to reply! Pole sana baba. Congratulations!!!! You're a grand-pa now, how does it feel? I hear you have a new batch of students (and I believe you're in Lamu). Hope everything is going well. I do miss being there, it's become easier being back here but still - things don't quite feel the same. I've gotten back into my old routine: classes, writing for my magazine, studying, thinking, chatting with friends and some wine. It's been challenging reconciling my different lives, the one I had last semester and this one. I try not to lose sight of the goals and promises I made. On that note I have a question. I want to send books to St. George's and St. Michael's in Kaloleni, what's the best way for me to do that? Should I send them to the SIT office with money for you to send them to Kaloleni? Or should I send them directly to the schools? What if I want to send mail to my Mombasa homestay family, Lamu, or my Kaloleni family? Perhaps these are silly questions...I'm sure you'll let me know. I know you're supper busy and I don't expect a reply soon but just when you get a chance (I know what it's like being insane with work!). Send my love to all in Lamu, especially Omari, Athman the curator and Ali. If you see Reuben, Anne or Geoffry send a very warm "hamjambo!". Tell them I'm still trying to study kiswahili, there might be a class I can take over the summer. Anyway, back to the grindstone of work. Asante sana baba! Ninafurahi lakini nina kazi nyingi. Wekendi iliyopita nilihitaji kusoma 1,251 sahifi kwa darasa yangu. I nearly went insane.
