Thursday 19 March 2009 Hi to my family John and Mary and the boys and to my friends. We have finally arrived after 3 planes of 17 hours, and about 7-8 hours on the road to Maua today. We saw a lot of banana farma, tea plantations, rice paddies and lots of goats and cows along the way. Our hotel is on the market street. The cows wander up and down the street, but are not lost. Cars and people stay clear. Vendors sell pots and pans, clothes, furniture, and lots of other stuff too. Chickens sit in a bundle with their feet tied together while waiting to be sold. A street preacher was hawking his CD. Tomorrow we are visiting families in the Project Hope and will work on homes the following day. I have learned to sleep vertically and hope I can finally get some rest tonight! Alice Finnell
