To Kisumu

Today we took a 6 hour journey by van to Kisumu. The way led through the Great Rift Valley, and Kericho where there were tea farms as far as the eye could see.
We found our hotel called the Milimani Resort. The room is nice. It has air conditioning and a mosquito net over the bed.
We had dinner at a restaurant on Lake Victoria, which is the 2nd largest freshwater lake in the world (Lake Superior is the 1st) and the headwaters of the Nile.
WIFI only works downstairs in the TV room so thats where I am now, hangin w/ the folks. Its 80+ deg @ 9:50pm, and one of the guys is sitting on the couch with a winter coat on. This is cold for them. There is no A/C here so the windows are open and the mosquitos are flyin. Luckily, we were told that the mosquitos that carry Malaria only come out between 7:30 and 9 pm. There is no daylight savings time here so the mosquitos dont have to adjust.
