"There were the Ngong Hills. Those four very distinct knuckles, rising before me in a 180-degree postcard view, were the Africa I had been dreaming about. And despite my pronounced insecurities about the situation I had just plunked myself down in, I suddenly felt that if I could just sit there, look at those hills, and smell the air in Africa, I just might live through the year I had signed on for. For the first time since I had arrived in Nairobi, I could remember what it was about Africa that had captured such a large part of my soul. There is an expression, ‘Once you have Africa in your blood….’ Well, I sure had it in mine."
