Africa is good. I just got to my new site and I'm in the process of moving in. My town [Voi] is just south of Nairobi. It is very hot and dry,but I like my town. The people are very friendly. I play soccer often and I'm looking forward to the next two years.
Although I am definitely enjoying myself, I wanted to warn you that my feelings about the peace corps itself are lukewarm. They do not give you a lot of freedom to move around. Also, the training process in Kenya was painfully slow and somewhat unproductive. Of course, the training is different for every country. Anyway, if you are still considering joining keep in mind that is an organization where you must tell them every time you leave your site, have limited out of site days, cannot do things like ride a motorcycle and can get kicked out if you do not wear a bicycle helmet-at least that is what they tell us.
I'd like to tell you more about Kenya, but time is a little limited.
