Nairobi

I am setting on the veranda of Joel & Mary Anns house, typing this blog of todays events. Perfect breeze, lots of birds filling the air with song....TIA

Today we spent most of the day in Nairobi. Paul had several things to take care of and I had planned to go with him all along, but we asked Zach to come as well and he briefly thought he should stay and help with the camp but we persuaded him. Traffic in was horrendous, I think it normally is, just some days are worse than others. Also we took one of the counselors in along with her aunt. Turns out she had been beaten up on Sunday and came to help at the camp anyway complete with a swolen eye. She also had some type of kidney problem as she had blood in her urine. Paul took her into town and dropped her and her aunt at hospital with enough cash to cover the costs. She actually made it back here before we did with several pills to take and instructions to go for x=ray if she had not improved by Friday.

The rest of our time in town consisted of going to Pauls bank to deposit camp funds, check his mail at two differernt post offices and stopping at a few stores. On the way to all this, we had lattes & samosa (z had tea). We went to a huge outdoor type mall, that had a water slide (huge) bowling alley, several theatres and probably 75 stores. A huge food court with lots of variety. We all bought from a Thai booth, I had curry chicken, paul had cashew chicken and zach had sun dried sweet beef....all most delicious and more than we could eat (except for Zach who finished his and mine). I found a nice book by/about David Shepherd that I had not seen before $30. Told zach that could be my Christmas but since I was there he was not buying it. I did help him barter for some stuff, he was skeptical but got into the spirit of things in theend. On the way home we stopped to check on some roofing material Paul had ordered, not in yet. Total elapsed time 7 hours. TIA
