Contact information and photos

Life in Kenya is not SOOOOOO exciting that I have not been posting .... it's busy that's for sure, so by the time evening comes I'm TIRED!    Things take a lot longer here ...... even making boiled eggs in the morning takes longer ..... the altitude in Nairobi is pretty high .... close to a mile up if I remember correctly.

Ah,  but I had promised contact information .... let's begin with that:
If you would like my phone number in Kenya please send me an email at TracyHerring at mac dot com.
No one receives mail at their home here,  so if you want to receive mail you need to have a PO Box, so the people we are renting from are allowing us to use their PO Box.
Letters are appreciated, please contact me prior to sending large packages or envelopes as we will have to pay for them when we pick the up at the Post Office.
Paul & Tracy Herring & family
PO Box 65018-00618
Ruaraka, Kenya

the postal code is after the box number (00618) but it should be written as it is above as not to confuse US/Kenyan postal workers.

We also have Skype (HerringPJ) and Facetime on the Iphone, Mac or Ipad,  so if you have an Iphone, Version 2 or 3 Ipad, or a Mac we could do Facetime with you,  just let me know your phone number or email address asscociated with Facetime.

We are 8 hours ahead of US Central Daylight Time, we don't change our clocks here so when you do in the Autumn we will be 9 hours ahead. If you are not in the US or on central time you can go HERE to check to time difference.


You asked for some photos:
Welcome to our Kenyan Home. We live on a compound of 4 homes. This is the entrance to our house.

 

The photo below is looking out to the main gate, our house is to the right in the photo. 

coming into the drive you will likely see the boys and our dogs will greet you. The blond colored dog is Grizwald, he barks a lot but in the end he's quite friendly.  "Shorts" is the dachshund, he belongs to our neighbors, we have not met them yet as they are out of town for the summer. My boys LOVE their dog :) 

Front of the house with Mocha and Grizwald, they remain outside and watch out for us. 

The boys on the front porch hangin with the dogs

view from the other side of the porch, carport is to the right. A very kind friend (in Kenya) loaned us 2 bikes for the boys,  they have been PERFECT :) 

Mocha in the backyard near the stream. There is a garden to the right, behind the house and another on the other side of the stream. We have bananas, kale, onions, beans, corn, nuts and a few other things. 

Our little stream, that's deeper than it looks and our bridge that needs repair :) 

 This is the boys new pet, Fred, He's a baby Chameleon and he's about the length of my thumb if his tail is stretched out,  the boys found him Sunday,  but since he's a baby they are going to return him to where they found him tomorrow.  Bye Fred!  They hope to find a larger one that they can care for easier sometime soon. :)

I will try and share more photos soon.  

I hope you enjoyed them :)
