Watching and Waiting

This will be a big week in Kenya's history. The opposition has called for protests on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. They will either be peaceful or a bloodbath. If chaos results I'm sure it will impact my future plans.
Warren is back in Nairobi, says he is well but shell shocked from his experience in Kericho. My friend Mary's husband Richard emailed and said they have been fine, used the $30 taxi to get to the airport rather than the $750 military escort and arrived there without any problems. They live in Karen, where the orphanage is, and have been barely touched by the violence. The Hardisons, who run the mission hospital up by Kisumo, were evacuated to Nairobi, and say they are safe, well rested and well fed. Like everywhere in the world, what you see depends on where you stand.
Watch the news, watch the blog. And pray.
