Last Friday we adopted a 7-year-old dog named Sushi, and she has been settling nicely into life with the Lavenders. She is very smart and adaptable and pretty darn cute, too. Only the cats are dubious about Sushi's presence in the house, and there is still much spitting and hissing when Sushi strays into the cats' personal bubble zone (which has grown to at least 10 feet when she is around!).
Also, on Sunday, September 18th, we attended the annual Storymoja literary festival here in Nairobi. The big highlight of the day was hearing Ben Okri speak, and then chatting for a few minutes with him while we had some books signed. Okri is the author of numerous books including The Famished Road (which won the Booker Prize in 1991).
