Just a quick note to say that we are safe and sound in Nairobi today, despite the ongoing tragedy at the Westgate Shopping Mall. We have in fact been to this mall a few times and were in fact having coffee there last Saturday around noon. But, luckily we weren't there today!!
The attack is a big shock to Nairobi and specifically to the expat community here. Nairobi is supposed to be safe and this kind of thing is not supposed to happen. Anyone could have been there today. We're just all hoping the hostages will get out safely and things will end without too much bloodshed.
I went to the hospital to donate blood this evening since there was a special appeal for my O- bloodtype. It was chaos there and I did in fact see a body being wheeled through the hospital while there. Absolutely horrible thing to happen!
