Good times in the Kenyan Capital

Well, our original plan was to skip Nairobi. Then we planned on staying for a day or couple days, max, once we arrived in town. In the end though, we've been here a week... The last few days have been amazing though, and the past week may have been the best yet on the trip. (I wrote this wayyy back, when it was actually somewhat recent but just before I was able to publish it, the power went out in typical African style so I wasn't able to post it, and lost a good part of the post in the process as well... so this is what was saved... I'll try and give a better update in the next few days..., especially since this past week, as in the first week of April's been pretty memorable as well!)

Highlights in and around Kenya's capital city include:

*Hitchin rides all over the place, from English NGO workers, to a few Kenyan guys, to a Coke truck (yep, that's right! =D)

*Watching probably one of the most demanding and talented acrobatic acts ever as part of a Kenyan cultural presentation.

*Kissing a giraffe, haha... yea, really.

*Close encounters with baby elephants and a baby rhino.

*Feasting on crocodile, ostrich, and a bunch of other meats at Carnivore, supposedly one of the best restaurants in the world. (not sure if I'd rate it that high, but it was still an awesome experience!)

*And, of course, going to the World Cup Qualifier soccer game between Kenya and Tunisia. Unfortunately (but not all that unexpectedly), the home team lost; but it was still a pretty exciting time, and an experience that would make anyone a soccer fan.
