Made it to Diani!

Wanted to update with a quick post that we made it to Diani. We don't have internet at the house yet, so we're writing from a cybercafe. Our trip from Nairobi to Mombasa was uneventful, though I must say, so far Kenya Airways has been far superior to anything the US has to offer.

We were met at the Mombasa by Kuzungu, a man working with the project on the coast. We then drove down the coast road at either a snail's pace behind massively-overloaded trucks, or at 100 km/h, which seems pretty standard here. After an hour's drive, a ferry ride, and another 20 minutes of driving, we arrived at the house where we met Mungai and Lucy. Mungai is the operational manager of all of the University projects and Lucy is the cook. More on them later.

The house is clean and minimalist with a pretty amazing view of the beach. We'll update more later with pictures. For now, we're headed to the beach.
