Interesting tidbits

Thought we'd take a time out to share a few interesting things.
The temperature here is about the same year round as we have said before (50's in evening/AM and 70's during the day). When we first arrived we saw several folks here building fires in their fireplace. We thought that was a little silly. Well, after a good rain the other day we looked at each other and said "let's start a fire". We got a few pieces of firewood and boy is it hard to burn. We spent over 30 minutes the other night trying and didn't get it started. One of our guests brought over some kerosene to help, but we refused and said it was cheating. Our helper even set up the wood in a way she knew would burn. Well, let's just say our new game at night is "Who can get the fire started?".
We also had a neat experience the other day. We have spent some time with one of the local drivers. He has been at Tenwek all of his life. Edna Boroff was one of the first nurse here years ago. We have been reading her book about Tenwek. Our driver said that he was one of the first people delivered by her. We thought this was neat. Driving here is a privilege. It is difficult to get a licence. You have to take a course and it is expensive. Our SP driver Raymond said if your car slips one inch backward when sitting on a hill you fail. Our driver is so good that he says everyone he has helped to teach drive had passed their test first time.
Just some interesting tidbits.
