We went to the office, which is a 30ish minute drive from Transmillenium, at 9 to find that none of us were in possession of the key for the pad lock on the door. So we made our way to the teashop down the road. Rose is the name of one of the ladies who works there. I am sure we will get to know her well. One of them has a daughter and she is so precious. She stands there and stares at us. We enjoyed a cup of coffee, which has some sort of spice in it, possibly cinnamon and some bread. Not a well-balanced breakfast but it would hold us until lunch. We sat for probably an hour and eventually got into the office.
We worked until 6 in our office. All 6 of us crowded in the relatively small room, which has been invaded by ants. They are everywhere! They seriously crawl out of our computers. When we have that many people breathing in the small room it gets warmed up pretty quickly. It is a bit of a relief when people leave to go run errands and such.
Once we got back to Thong Ping, we had an unplanned pre-dinner walk because we could not find the restaurant we wanted to eat at. It is a Kenyan place called Karibuchoma. We did find it after walking back and forth and around the block twice. In this adventure there was a man bold enough to not call us Kawaja but shout out, “White ladies! White ladies!”. The restaurant was actually quite disappointing. We were attacked by mosquitoes, and none of us got what we ordered, AND we ate in the dark. Haha. Probably won’t go back to that place any time soon.
I talked to Lisa this evening. It was excellent. She was at work painting and I of course thought about how my painting arms are certainly not as strong as they used to be. I may need to scrounge up some painting projects while I am here to keep my arms buff and strong…
