Nairobi






Arrived in Nairobi all intact and accommpanied by all our baggage. Including a 75lb hockey bag of medical paraphernalia and a 65lb bag of bras and glasses! Met up with Biz and Cheryl at the Stanley hotel and tried the local beer before snoozing.


Had an amazing day seeing Nairobi. Joanne and I seem to have missed our HIV/AIDS experience as the communication between Swahili and English wasn't so effective. No loss though as we all thoroughly enjoyed the elephant orphanage. Learned and saw a lot. Had a great day lead by Martha and Fredo who shared their world with us. We shopped at a women's cooperative facility of pottery and glass beads, the local Kenyan handcraft shop and enriched our senses with the colors and and talents of the locals. Visited the "Keren Blixen" museum. The woman who life was depicted in the movie Out Of Africa.

Kerry, Joanne, Biz and further over, Cheryl.



Hindsight.

  1. Wow, what a fine way to start my day! It's great you got the iPad figured out & the camera activated. Erin wants to be able to print off some of the pictures so we'll try to figure that out from the laptop.
    Greetings to you all!
    Love you & miss you (drive safely!)
