Traveling to Nairobi!

It’s crazy– I never thought a trip to Nairobi could be so smooth–well compared to the ambulance ride anyways…

So, the weekend is time off project to explore Kenya, and see the “must see” places. I got to go see baby orphan Elephants (So CUTE!!!). Many of these were found at a few months old without a mother, where they would not normally be able to live. For example, one elephant has epilepsy and would get left by the herd because, while she had a seizure, the herd would walk away.

Another elephant was the victim of human/wild-life conflict, and got stuck in a snare; the elephant still has a wound on its trunk:

I also fed giraffes, which was pretty cool. I tried to pet it, but it moved its head away… They also like to head butt.

I was asking around about going to church and was told I should go to the “mzungu” church (literally “white person”). So, I went:) it’s at two rivers, which is pretty much in Nairobi:

Later, we went to the largest mall here:

Tomorrow, I’ll be back at the hospital!

Happy adventuring!
