Hotel LaMada Nairobi

... at Moses once again. I decided to lay down the law and take away the Jenga from him, because he could actually really hurt someone. He was not a fan of me that night. Lol So by the time he was ready to leave, he was pretty angry, and as he was getting his boots on I said sarcastically, “Bye Patrick! It’s been a slice!” And, in pure Patrick style, he looks at me, with the biggest **** eating grin on his face, gives me the middle finger, and goes “See you ...

... for dinner twice. It looks like mashed potatoes, so it is deceiving. But it tastes like playdough. No ughali is good ughali! <br><br> After leaving Frieda&#8217;s we headed back to the office where some of the kids were playing. There is this one little girl named Beth who I talk to each time I see her there. Earlier today I asked her why she was not in school (she is probably 10ish). She just said &#8220;I have no clothes&#8221;. Kids here have to have uniforms to go to ...

... The elephants were soooooooooo cute! We got so many great photos of them and we got to kiss the giraffes a few times aswell. They also take care of baby rhinos, and when it came out it ran away a knocked a lady down! hahaha cute...but she was a bit injured. <br><br>After our day trips we starved ourselves and had no lunch because we had dinner reservations at the famous Carnivore restaurant in Kenya. WOW. What a feast, You have a flag that is up, so they keep on feeding you ...

... the middle of the night. Yeaaaahhh!! I can't wait. From here on out I have no idea if I will be able to update my travel blog. Being that I didn't see any starbucks or any other wifi places in the most developed city in East Africa(Nairobi), I have a feeling that I will have to post things as I can which probably means every week or 2. My guess is every 2 weeks though. But I have my laptop and plan to keep writing and just cut and paste when I return. So keep on checking!

... for a few months, it was unfortunately very believable. Our Zambian cab driver had told us a similar version of this story, which involved women being forced to sleep with their managers and bosses to keep/get jobs. <br><br> As we drove free of the slums, the immense open plains of the Rift Valley appeared. The Masi Mara is a huge national park, connected to the Serengeti in Tanzania to the south. On the way to our first night&#8217;s camp, we ...

... must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.<br> Every morning a lion wakes up.<br> It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.<br> It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.<br> When the sun comes up, you better start running.<br><br> Tomorrow, like the gazelle and the lion, when the sun comes up we are off and running on our safari.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <br>

... beans, bananas, avocados, mangoes, yams, maizeand sugar cane. Sho Sho fed us mukimo which consists of beans, potatoes, maize, and pumpkin leaves. Afterwards, I walked around the area a little and met some of Mr. Mugo's nieces, nephews, cousins, and siblings. Michelle and I then came across a girl named Lilian Muthoni Gatheca. I was told that Lilian has a beautiful voice so we asked her to sing a song and boy could she sing! She chose to sing a song about the Lord ...

... at the house (apparently they have a get together every few weeks, with as many of the 10 siblings as they can get). As soon as we&#8217;d met everyone it was already time for us to catch our taxi to the airport. In typical African fashion, we got the car all packed, took final pictures, said weepy goodbyes, got in and &#8211; the car wouldn&#8217;t start. We thought maybe one of the boys had sabotaged our ride to get us to stay, but all we needed was a jumpstart and we ...

... door was a craft market - something like Victoria Markets but this is African style and I was so wary of stopping and being dragged into the shops by the eager talkative stall holders. I will wait till later but it was a good introduction to the souvenirs that will be in our face later on.<br><br>Past City Hall and being moved on by the security guard for taking a photo of the sign and then I heard a brass band with a crowd behind ... what's up?
