Jambo!

Greetings from Kenya!  I arrived safely in Nairobi last night after 19 hours of flying, anxious and excited.  I was very happy to see my bag and my party waiting to meet me right away!
Today we are staying with a family in Nairobi and have experienced so much hospitality and warmth in the past 24 hours.  Breakfast this morning consisted of:  cereal, omelette, sausages, toast, mango, juice, and tea/coffee.  Couldn't believe it when I bit into the mango - I've never tasted one so delicious in my life!  :)

Anna and I went to the Giraffe Centre this afternoon where we could feed the Rothschild giraffes out of our hands and hike along a nature trail.

We also went to the Bomas of Kenya show today where we experienced traditional music and dances from various regions of Kenya.

Needless to say, I'm so happy to be here and can't wait to get to Bungoma and get settled in!

Love how the giraffes open their mouths to eat!

Salamu,
Heather
