We made it all safe and sound to Kenya. We got in Thursday night about 9:30. It was a lllllloooooonnnnnnnggggggg trip. Wow! I didn't realize how far it was to Nairobi. It took about 27 hours from the time we left our house on Wednesday morning until we got here.
We stopped in Chicago and London on the way here. It is my first time out of the United States except for cruises to Mexico. The London airport is amazing. Terminal 5 is like an international shopping mall. We really enjoyed browsing through all the shops. We decided that it would be better to buy things there on the way home.
Today, we went to the Masaai Market. We had lunch at the Silver Spur. It was good food. I had chicken and cheese quesadillas. Conrad had the Brazilian style beef. The french fries were very crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. When you order drinks, you have to specifically ask for cold drinks. Nothing here is cold. The Kenyan people think that cold drinks will ruin your teeth. Besides, cold things hurt your teeth.
The Masaai Market was interesting. Everyone was set up in small 'booths' on top of a building. The booths were just areas on the ground. There were fabrics, shawls, wood carvings, bowls, baskets, paintings, beads, jewelry, etc. The list goes on and on and on. The handwork was beautiful, but we didn't buy anything. We will have time to go back next week if we don't find other things in the rest of our travels.
Pictures will be coming tomorrow. We love and miss all of you back home.
