   Several people have been getting sick here. Fortunately I wasn't sick but felt so bad for those that were! The trip to town was an hour drive which passed in a flash since we're used to endless hours on travel days! After shopping around in town I had decided to go back on the "early" truck. It was drizzling rain and then turned into a downpour. "We were supposed to have class but two of the trucks weren't back yet. Turns out they had both slid into a ditch! Everyone had to get out and they pushed one of the trucks out. So many people were covered in filthy red mud, all over their shoes and feet! They had to leave the other one there (I'm guessing locals helped push it out). Everyone said it was an amazing experience with all the locals coming out to cheer them on and they all seemed to have a lot of fun despite getting really dirty!" It poured rain all night and I heard that there were about fourteen people that were sick. I felt so bad for them. 10 years ago today I wasn't sick in Kitale.
