Kenya: December 2004 Archives

Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family in the U.S. and around the world--in California, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maine, Florida, Colorado, D.C, New York, Austria, Australia, South Africa, France, Greece, U.K., Ghana, and Uganda!

We arrived safely in Nairobi last night. One could describe the 13 hour bus ride as 'bumpy', but that would be a major understatement--we were literally being thrown from our seats. Luckily the bus actually had seat belts. But other than the bumps, the ride was really interesting. We got to experience many major changes in the landscape, including a pine forest and the Great Rift Valley. We even got to see two herds of zebras, some warthogs, gazelles and a rainbow!
We met a really nice young woman on the bus who pointed things out to us and helped us tremendously once we arrived in Nairobi by helping us make a call to the hostel and negotiating a good price for us for the taxi. Thank you Christine!
