How about another update from our good friend Leslie, that great Woman of the World, reporting from her new Peace Corps assignment in Kenya:

"All is ok, I still don't have a house and don't begin work untill Jan so I am a little restless to say the least. I have been hanging out with other PCV's for the last few weeks celebrating the holidays and chillin on the beach. It is strange to be in such hot weather during xmass. Kenyas is great, though [tomorrow are] the elections so we shall see what happens. Havent seen any elies [elephants] yet but am working in the environmental area so hope to catch them soon. Take care you and have a great time back home."
