I have erased three sentences while trying to express how wonderful today was.
Today was wonderful.
Quinn (L) was invited to a football match in Kibera by Boneface, one of the men we met a couple of weeks ago, so a bunch of us decided to tag along and journey out to the match with her.
Eventually, we think, we will get use to the concept of kenyan time. Boneface said he would meet us at the KenCom bus station at noon -- it was more like 1pm. The match was supposed to begin at 2:30pm, it finally started around 5pm -- just in time for us to leave, sadly.
Boneface (yes, that is his name) is one of the assistant coaches - so before we went to the football field, he took us to his house (a small room where he had a freezer, some chairs, a bed, a tv -- it was very nice) and showed us the trophies and medals his teams have won in the past. We then went to ICA - where we had meet a bunch of guys when we previously toured Kibera, and caught up with them.
We all ended up going to the match.
I think the pictures i'm going to post will explain the rest.
