This afternoon at 3:00 Kenya time we felt the building shake and knew there had been an earthquake. Because we were in a brick building we were heading out the door when it stopped. We later went on the USGS web site and learned it was a 5.0 centered at the Lake Victoria area near Kisumu (if you are looking on the map the epicenter was 15 miles wsw of Kisumu). We are about 1/2 hour from Kisumu. No damage here. Matter-of-fact the folks here did not know what was happening and Sister Pauline is now joking that we brought California with us.
So we are off to bed. We just did not want you to worry if you read or heard about the earthquake in the Lake Victoria area.

I have searched and searched and have found no news of an earthquake in Kenya and now realize that my fears of your travels have been misplaced (who would have thought to worry about an earthquake?). By the way, Heather called as they had a 5.7 earthquake in San Diego. Hmmm…Kenya, San Deigo on the other side…a connection? David
