Our flight from Turkey to Nairobi turned out to be a 6 hour party. It seems several stars from daytime Turkish television and the German National Basketball team were on our flight. They purchased drinks for all the passengers, and Dirk Nowitzki convinced the pilot to play Dirk's playlist, a tasteful balance of House and R&B, over the PA. Upon arrival several of us went with the Turks to a Nairobi house party, followed by an after party until dawn. Then things got out of hand. Thanks to Mark Shaw for bailing us out.
Needless to say Charlotte and I have spent the last 36 hours recovering.
Or maybe its just jet lag its difficult to say.
We did arrive safely at AIU, and spent some time around the school and Karen (the community that will be our home for the next few months). The wonderful Lois Shaw played hostess and treated us to tea at the lovely Karen Blixen Tea Shop or House or something like that.
Lois taking us there was foretold by Hannah Grimes prior to our departure. This means that Hannah is a prophetess, a soothsayer or a witch. We will have a swimming party and cookout upon our return to determine if she is the latter. #ArthurMiller'd
