Turkana Basin Institute

Hello Family and Friends,

This is more of a pictorial email of the “campus” of TBI. The dorms are very exposed, doors and windows are left open because of the high temperatures, there have been some good winds but if there is no wind it can get very hot. Beds are outside with mosquito net coverings.

One should not walk around in their underwear since there are no curtains. When I shower, which may be two or three times a day, I make sure all the clothes I need are with me.

There is a lot of sand around here and acacia trees and small bushes that have thorns, so walking barefoot is not recommended.

Meals are served three times a day, and the food is quite good, we usually get a fresh salad at each meal. There is free laundry service here.

Every day has been a bit different, but when we go out of the compound we have to climb up into a large passenger truck and the ride to wherever we are going is sure to be bumpy. A picture of that will come later in the next e-mail.

One thought on “Turkana Basin Institute”

  1. I will take a close up of the acacia tree and send it in one of the next few e-mails. Would it be too difficult to have you set up a site to put my Kenya trip on? It would be a little easier for me to send you the pictures and text and have a link for every one else to look at. I think I am having very bad luck with cameras, the android phone that Bob lent me deleted all the video and pictures from the past two days and left me with just 6 pictures. Thank goodness I still have my iPad to take selected pictures.
