monkeys, kids, and an amazing culture…

Nairobi, Kenya

We have been extremely busy for our first few days imersing ourselves in the local culture. Our experiences so farĀ  have included church service at the local orphanage for aids kids (Nymboni) which was uplifting and thought provoking (picture five foreigners/mzungus with local kids on our laps throughout the service - it was great), a visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Centre where they rehabilitate orphaned elephants (and we were lucky enough to see different monkeys running around), a tour through Karen Blixens house and plantation and trips to local grocery stores and markets. It’s all been amazing and truly a unique experience. More details to come soon (with some photos)…
