You know you've been in Africa...

... for (almost) too long when you find yourself in Nairobi, in a convent, wearing plastic shoes with socks, ironing a skirt.

That's where I found myself last night.  It was cold, and I could not believe that I purposefully put on socks with my plastic flip-flop type shoes.  Not a good scene, I tell you.

Anyway, no one here to impress except a bunch of nuns, middle aged married men and single women.

Nice folks, though, and I have to admit, it's sometimes nice to be in company who really don't care (or don't even notice!) that you're wearing socks with your sandals.

But don't worry, I don't plan on making a habit of it.
