So here we are in Nairobi, night 2. We got in fairly late last night, but while we were still on the plane waiting for a gate to open up, my mom and I fully embraced our new country experience by cranking up "Africa" by Toto on my iPod and dancing along. People next to us thought we were NUTS... but in all fairness, I guess we are. :) We decided that we need an "Africa Adventure" playlist- so far, we have decided on the Toto song, "In the Jungle", "Hakuna Matata" (Which people here ACTUALLY SAY!!), and "Circle of Life". Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Here's a great video we found of "Africa"!
We're in another great hotel- although it has NOTHING on the Covent Garden, it's still very beautiful. It looks like a tropical paradise!
We went to church Sunday morning with David, who has been graciously driving us around since we arrived. It was a fantastic service! The music was wonderful, the people were incredibly welcoming, and we were even hosted by a women's group for tea after the service. We even sung hymns in Swahili- and we were actually pretty good! Well, everyone that can carry a tune was very good- if you've ever heard my mom or I sing you know that no matter how easy the hymn was, we butchered it. But we had a GREAT time!It seems like we're eating ALL of the time. After church, we had lunch at a fabulous restaurant called Carnivores- where they serve you all kinds of meat off skewers... sometimes using a VERY large knife!!
Here's a great shot of Barbara, Jill and Jeanne relaxing at our hotel before church! We're having a great time, and leave for Rwanda today. Keep watching and commenting!
