Lights go down but arms wide open - Arrival

I have arrived!
Last wednesday I departed for an 8 hour flight to Nairobi. It all turned out to go a little different due to runway lights at the airport not working correctly. Quite a lot of hassle really, but it ended up working out sawa (okay). I completely try to adapt to the "Kenyan Hakuna Matata pole pole" attitude. It's positive and brings you to places. So what, if I needed to sleep in an airplane for a whole night, stuck at Kilamanjaro aiport in Tanzania? So what, if I would be put in some hotel in Mombasa with a complete stranger because accomodation in Arusha Tanzania wouldn't be possible?
I did not expect in any way that Anthony would have been there still, 6 hours later in the middle of the night.
It was amazing to see him again. There's nothing better than a familair face is nothing better after a long trip of strangers and unexpected happenings. We had some tea and left for the Guesthouse where I would be staying for 2 nights.

Now, it's monday December 14th. 5 days later. It feels as if I have been here for over 3 weeks already. Imagine what else to come. Though, things are starting to settle. I had a terrible cold, completely lost my voice over the weekend and so while people take care of me here - I had time to adapt, adjust and find myself again in the middle of all the foreign.
There's obviously a lot to write about and I just decided to take the blogging in snapshots. I need to prioritize what I share because there's simply already too much that happened and has hit my retina.

Through it all - I feel most welcome. Karibu oooh so sana. (Welcome very much). :)
The warmth, the hugging, the smiles, the little sticky hand of the cutest children "HAWWAYOE?!...and...so...on!
More to come...
