Made it to Nairobi!

We finally arrived last night in nairobi, and are currently trying to recover from jet lag in our hostel. All of our bags arrived safely, minus one buckle on my backpack-you were right mom, I should have put it in a bag. The weather is lovely, of course, and we're enjoying the change from the recent wisconsin weather :) I was startled in the bathroom (which is partially outdoors) this morning when a tortoise the size of toddler decided to join me. He seemed friendly enough so I let him stay. I supposed I was actually in his bathroom after all. Well, we best be off to procure a phone and some kenyan shillings before we take our next journey.
We'll keep you updated!

  5. So happy to hear you guys made it there safely! Your turtle story reminded me of bad memories of Girl Scout camp when there would be snakes in the latrines. Not cool! ;-)
