Welcome to IU House in Kenya!
Here's a quick tour of where we're staying. It's nothing fancy, but everything is very nice and clean.
Here is the gate from the main road, Michael is the day guard there.
There are security shacks at the end of the
driveway, here's a sign for Elliott on top of this one!
The mud is incredible right now, so we leave shoes at the door, helps keep the place clean!
Haven't seen many/any masquitos yet, but we have the netting just in case. I'm sure we sleep better without the bugs, if only the netting could drown out the barking dogs.
Right behind out bed is the emergency button. This button is to be pressed in case anyone gets through the two cement walls with barbed-wire, past the guards at all the gates, through the double set of locked doors and into our room. Pressing the button immediately calls for 30 armed guards to swarm the compound. In the past 12 years this has only been activated once, by a sleep walker. Said sleep-walker will be questioned upon our return.
We've had hot water for every shower so far!
We eat meals in a different building across the street. (and I don't have to cook or clean up after--love it!)
This mixer photo is up for my mixer-loving friend, you would be able to survive in Africa!
The grounds around the IU Houses.
I expect blog posts from Kenya to be free of technical difficulties. So disappointed…
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty sweet Hobart stand lift, nothing but the best for Mrs Yockey's baby boy. Seems even better than the Costa Rica accomidations. I bet there might even be apple pucker in the security safe.
