Our Return to Nairobi

Because of the previous rains, our drive back to Nairobi was, to say the least, hairraising at times. We had to take several diversions (detours) which were very muddy and slippery. Our driver, Joshua, was amazing and kept the van from sliding off the road.

The highlight of our return trip was seeing 5 giraffes along the side of the road. Don, of course, got some wonderful closeup pictures!

On the outskirts of Nairobi we ran into heavy traffic. What should have taken 30 minutes to drive took at least 90 minutes. What should have been a two lane road often turned into 3 lanes going one way and two the other with no order! The smell of diesel fuel was unbearable at times.

We were dropped of at the Kenny's home and spent an enjoyable afternoon with them and their children, Tristan, Emma and Ava. The have a lovely home in Westlands...but it is 4 stories up with no elevator!!

We went with them to pick up Tristan and Emma from their school, Rossland Academy. It is an American Christian school where many of the children whose parents are employed by various embassies and the United Nations attend.

The Kennys also have a blog. It contains pictures and information about Eastleigh as well as wonderful information about their family and their experiences in Kenya. Their blog address is http://www.fourkennys.blogspot.com/
