Send me mail
Though Prof. Rubinstein had warned us that our friends/family should only send us mail if "neither you nor the sender care if it ever arrives," Melissa successfully received mail a couple of days ago. So, if you have the burning desire to make my dreams come true, send some snailmail to:
Jenn Ruskey
c/o Mpala Research Center
P.O. Box 555
Nanyuki
Kenya
We're finishing up the first half of the first course: we give our presentations of our research projects today, and tomorrow we have our exam and a party. Wednesday is our first day off; we'll probably drive to Mount Kenya and possibly do some shopping in Nanyuki. Then the second half of the course begins.
We went for a night game drive last night. Very interesting to see the herds of impala lying like lumps on the ground. The moon was dazzling, creating layered shadows and silhouettes of mountains and ridges for miles into the distance. The artificial lights of nearby ranches burned like beacons, though we can't see them at all in the dusty camouflage of daylight.

Your mom sent your blog address...somehow in all of the fray, I missed it earlier. Your accounts of your wonderful adventures are magnificent...I feel as though I am experiencing your experiences at times and delight in your interpretations of your experiences too. Glad to know this is here and I'll be able to check in on you every now and then. Let me know if you need anything sent via snail mail from Olympia, Washington. Your loving and proud Auntie Abs (p.s. Did you get my message to you on Ari's blog?). Love from all of us here...Ab, Nak, Buddy, Boo and Scout
