Living in the equator (1): sunrise, sunset

Funny how, at 6 a.m., no matter what month of the year, it is still dark here in Kenya. And the natural "low-cool to high-cool aircon" temperature of Nairobi makes it so tempting to snooze some more, huddled under duvet, way past the 6:30 sunrise.

And so, it is not surprising too, to find dusk descending rapidly at 6:30 in the evening. One moment, sunshine, and before you know it, darkness.
Twelve hours daytime, twelve hours nighttime. No more, no less.
