This post has nothing to do with Kenya, being an expat or really anything else that I usually talk about here.

Rather, it’s just to Catch up with everyone, let you know why there was radio silence (again) and to say with unabashed glee how rockstar cool my Family can be.

This past Weekend, my family, together with family friends, gathered to celebrate my uncle’s 75th birthday.  We celebrated in beautiful Paso Robles, California, which is in wine country.  So needless to say, the wine was flowing freely, the scenery was amazing, the food was deeply satisfying, delicious and just slightly overly abundant and everyone was in great spirits.  It was an incredibly fun time and I’m so honored to be my uncle’s favorite niece (that I am also the only one is irrelevant).

Tonight, I start my eastward journey that will eventually lead me back to my adventures in Nairobi.  I’ll be in London for another few days so I can continue to marvel at the wonder of electricity on demand and tap water that is actually potable before I head back home.

I hope everyone had an equally Fantastic weekend.  Catch you on the flip side.
