Getting Acclimatized!!

Well ... we've survived our first week here!! On Wednesday ... we were introduced to nearly everyone in the MAF hangar where Mark will be working and took a little stroll around the area we're living in ... sussing out the shops ... where believe it or not, the supermarkets were bigger than those at home ... and you can even get a bunkbed with your weekly shop!!! On Thursday ... Mark started work in the Hangar ... leaving for work at 7.15am ... he was not impressed!! He is the only non-Kenyan member of staff working on the shop floor!! - Jenny visited the school she will be working in 3 days a week ... it's an amazing international school ... looks more like a holiday resort!!! - and then went into town material shopping with some of the other MAF wives!!!!! On Friday ... Mark (after another early start!) had another long day in the hangar ... which included sitting in one of the aircraft (that he had been working on) for a ground run! - Jenny went to the MAF ladies meeting in the morning (another MAF wife past-time!!!) and moved into the guest house where Mark has been since the start (there wasn't enough room for both of us when we arrived!!!) We've met loads of great people ... and every evening this week have been treated to a home cooked meal by a different MAF family as part of the 'welcome' hospitality while people find their feet ... we're on our own now and so visited one of the mega-supermarkets to stock up!!! Hope you're all well ... we'll be in touch again soon!!
