No longer homeless! I finally moved into my house today. As you can see, I still don’t have very much. I can’t get a straight answer from anyone on where my container is, so I’m borrowing a few things from Leslie and making do for now. I really hope my things aren’t being sold on the streets of Mombasa.

So far, I’ve managed to acquire mattress, so I can get into (if not exactly into) bed, and my landlady kindly left me a few pieces of furniture. I really need to get some glasses so I can have a house warming party….

My new neighborhood is called Muyenga. It’s up on a hill, about 20 minutes or so from town (if there’s no traffic, which there always is). I’m looking forward to this weekend, when I can start to explore what’s around. So far, I’ve seen that there’s a really good Italian butchery/shop, some sort of swimming and sauna club, and some roads that might be decent for bike riding. Fewer mosquitoes that Bunga where I was staying, but I’ll kind of miss all of the enormous frogs that would come in the house (and croak at a tremendous volume!) at nighttime.
