Nairobi Follow Up

Just a quick note on our Nairobi vacation and some more photos: You’ll notice the picture of the police with a machine gun, quite common both in Nairobi and Tarime. Like Pam says, “ You don’t want to upset someone holding a gun,” so that’s why you see I took the photo from behind.

Here’s a photo of the Masaii greeters at the crocodile farm, man could the one on the left effortlessly jump high!

Here’s a photo to give you an idea of what the traffic is like, and it really doesn’t do justice to all the cars and people. I had more than one taxi driver have me roll up my window when I had my camera out as the walkers would appear to be just crossing the street and snatch your camera through the open window.

Here’s the BBQ pit at the Carnivore restaurant we treated ourselves to. They had cuts of; beef, crocodile (yes we tried it), BBQ chicken, chicken wings, ox heart (passed), chicken liver (passed), spare ribs, lamb and ox bone (passed). They go to table to table with the various meats and you have a small flag on your table that you lay down when you surrender (can’t eat anymore).

Lastly here, according to our driver, is the second largest slum in the world, with over 1 million people.

The slum was a reminder to us about the needs here in Africa. TIA Mark
