An update from that great Woman of the World Leslie upon her arrival as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kenya:

"Well I have now been in Kenya for about a week. It feels like I never left. Some one once told me that once you go to Africa you will never want to go anyplace else. I am beginning to think it is true. The minute I stepped off the plane and smelled the air I felt like I was home again. I feel safe and content, giddy as a school girl. My fellow PCv's are great and my home stay family is very kind. They think it is funny that I know Swahili already.
The town of naivasha is beatiful and the lake is amazing. We have already walked through a game park. We saw Giraffes and Zebra and other herbivores and some Hippos. No elephants yet;( soon though. It is such a different experience than before. I am so relaxed and content and the locals are all so kind and helpful and I haven't had anyone harass me yet. Things are good. I miss all of you very much but encourage you all to visit."
