Coming to a close
... with delight,
pointed and talked to me like I could understand what they were
saying. I tied her up before- but that was just on my homestead. I
thought I was accomplished b/c I herded the goats in that night w/
her on my back, but this simple walk home won me much praise. My
translator, Francesca kept telling me the next day that women kept
saying how I was a true Giriama woman b/c I know how to carry the
babies.

Lesley arrives in Kenya

The water clarity was as good as usual tropical ...
Elephant Orphanage and Spa Weekend in Nairobi
... Naipoki, at this orphanage so we went to visit him. It was the cutest thing, there were about 10 baby elephants and they bring them out so people can see them as they get fed a bottle of milk and play in the water with their soccer ball.
