Kenya Arrival


We took an overnight flight to Nairobi, easily got a taxi to the Hilton, had an awesome breakfast, and even got to check into our rooms early. Pete and I were with Katie, Kristie, and Jennifer. We all decided to take a city tour and wrangled an arrangement with someone the Hilton suggested. We got into a van with an open top and cruised around. There were demonstrations that day to support their candidates in the country's upcoming elections. People had banners, megaphones, t-shirts, you name it. The walked by the hundreds up and down the streets, signing or chanting. It was great seeing people being able to participate in the democratic process. Nairobi is much more developed that Yaounde--sidewalks, traffic lights, and street signs.
