Hi Everybody! Well, we finally got to do a couple of tours. It's been cloudy and raining everyday but one since we arrived.

Finally on Monday we did a tour with Daytrippers. It was great, they really pack your day full of fun.

Raj was so thrilled, he took Aaron and I with him to Bill Gates room after he checked out, and Bill actually signed his guest book. He was in the country doing work for his foundation. Back to Nairobi, our whole group went to the Carnivore and pigged out. The next day we left ... read more
