Yesterday, to celebrate the end of our first two midterms, our Monthiversary, and Wyatt’s birthday, we went out to dinner at this restaurant called Fogo Gaucho. It’s a Brazilian Steak House that serves so many different kinds of meat, including crocodile! You had a little card on your table and if you had it turned to green people carrying all the kinds of meat would come over and cut it for you right there. It was all you can eat so lots of people. They also had a really awesome salad bar with all the delicious things. I mostly stuck to chicken but of course I wasn’t about to miss out on that crocodile. It was actually really good! It was a little chewy but the flavor was kind of like chicken. For dessert they had this roast pineapple coasted in a cinnamon sugar type thing. It was actually THE most delicious thing ever - we all liked it so much they cooked another one for us. And of course we got a cake too for Wyatt. Overall it was a really great night and it was fun to have almost everyone there to celebrate. (Pics to come!)
As of Tuesday it has officially been a month in Kenya! I honestly cannot believe we have been here for that long already, but we are really starting to settle in with a routine, and crazily enough we are already into midterms. It is a little sad to think that we only have three months left here - time is going so quickly! But even in this month I have already learned so much and have had so many cool experiences. And we are starting to plan some really cool excursions to make the most of the rest of our time here. This weekend, for example, we are going to stay at this self-sustaining community that serves orphans and elders who have been left behind by the lost generation due HIV/AIDs (more details to come!). On our own were are also trying to plan a trip to Hell’s gate, whitewater rafting on the Nile, visiting Zanzibar, and going on a Safari. We’ll see if we can actually manage to accomplish all those things, but for now it’s really fun to start thinking about and planning.

First you eat tarantula in Cambodia and now crocodile in Kenya - you're my adventuresome eating hero. Makes langostines and shrimp pastis look like child's play!
