Field Trips

Over the last couple days, we have seen a lot of beautiful places in Nairobi. After being cooped up on the compound, it's nice to take the kids out around Nairobi. For Mark and I, it's a treat too. Saturday we went to a tea farm for lunch. It was so pretty there and they had monkeys running around! It was very classy... Mark and I felt out of place, but we had a great time.









After the tea farm we went to a waterfall. The whole way was downhill, which meant it was really steep coming up. To make it worse, it started to rain! It was worth it to see the waterfall, though.



Today after church, we went to an ostrich farm with some friends of Sabet and Suzy's. We had ostrich for lunch (really yummy, surprisingly) and some (not me) rode an ostrich after.





Then we went to Gnong Hill where we had an amazing view of Nairobi. It was so windy up there that it was hard to walk. The view was really breathtaking. It was a Nairobi highlight for sure.

  3. Thanks Megan! Mark took it with his camera. I was supposed to be standing on a rock, but it was so windy I whipped my head around to get my hair out of my face and slipped. So that photo was me was an accident. Mark just caught me slipping, but it came out kind of cool.

    Amy - Ostrich was really good! I wasn't going to eat any (I was going to order a hot dog), but the group made me. I'm glad I fell to peer pressure because it was awesome! I also ate lasagna for the first time ever last night. I even helped make it. It was yummy!
