We're now in Niarobi. Staying at the YMCA. Unfortunately they've fallen a few stars short of their 4 star goal. O well. It's cheap. Thanks for the pic how-to Chad. I left my stuff up in the room, but maybe I give it one more try later. We have a couple of days here and then we fly out at around midnight on Friday. Jason tried to bump our flight up a day but it cost too much. He and Nathan are anxious to get back to their wives. I wish I could stay longer. Don't worry GMA I'll be back on Monday.
The day at the river was great. The 3 hour drive one way on Kenyan roads I could have done without though. In case you didn't know the roads here are horrible. In downtown they're OK but once you head into the residential areas or out of town it's a dirty bumpy ride. We took some tubes with us to the river and shot the rapids. There were quite a few local kids hanging aroud so I showed one of them some capoeira. Then we did some flips in the water. No crocs in this river...just naked old ladies.
I left my heart in Kitale, so I'm going to have to go back and get it some day...soon I hope. Everywhere you turn in Africa there is a need. It can be a very difficult place to be. Everybody wants something from the mzungu (white man) cause the mzungu has money. Pray for Kenya. Pray for Africa. I've never had my heart broken so many times in such a short while. I didn't even see the worst of what is happening on this continent.
We'll bum aroud Nairobi today. Do some shopping and hang out. Then home. I think we'll be flying into LAX Saturday afternoon. Bye.
