Afreeka or Bust

After landing in Cairo, I had just a short time to play with Heba, and see some of Egypt. On sensory overload, we trekked to the pyramids. It is truly unlike any other place I have ever been. The traffic alone is much to behold. Pyramids, obviously amazing. On our tour, after the camel rides, I tried the view from the horses. The guide, who was stellar, allowed me to take the horse out and gallop all around, and even challenged me to a race. It was one of those moments you record in your mind. After a lovely dinner on the Nile, it was time to depart. This city has so much to offer, I hope that I can return during the conclusion of this summer. 

I arrived in Nairobi, again in the middle of the night, heightens the creepy factor certainly. After breakfast with a friend, I was bound all things Nairobi. The drivers are so helpful and informative. I visited the Karen Blixen Museum, (aka "Out of Africa"), which for all of you who know is particularly important in my world, went to the Girafffe compound, which was amazing and the Animal Orphanage of the Kenya National Park. Delightful day. When I returned, Alli was just arriving. Concluding the day with our first Kenyan supper, I leave at dawn for the Kili Bush Camp for 5 weeks. Solar panels for electricity, little to no plumbing but an unprecedented opportunity to work with the Masai. We shall see how I do . . . .
