Out and About in Nairobi

In between work, we get to explore Nairobi a little. Sabet and Suzy are taking us to all their favorite spots. On Monday night we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner. Here is a picture of the giant calzone I ordered. It was really yummy. (You might notice frequent mentioning of food. After being in Sudan, it's really exciting to eat new/favorite foods!)



Wednesday, we went to a place called Amani Aju for lunch. It is a ministry that teaches women refugees from all over Africa how to earn a living. They teach them skills like designing and marketing quality products. It's located in a beautiful courtyard with a playground. They have a shop with products the women have made as well as a cafe. Nairobi has a lot of trees around in certain areas. It's really pretty.





Yesterday we went to the giraffe center. I had been there before, but it was Mark's first time. Let's just say, he met someone special and they're kind of serious...





We have also been to a few malls. It is so strange being back in civilization again. It has been nice to just hang out at the house. One night we had Mexican night... it was delicious and felt like being at home. We made tacos, quesadillas and guacamole. It was really difficult to find tortillas here. After months of struggling in the kitchen, it was nice to have success with my guacamole!



Please continue to be in prayer for us while we are here. There is a lot we need to do before heading back to Tonj. Sabet will be flying to Juba (the capital of Sudan) on Monday to take care of some paperwork. Pray that he has a safe, productive visit.
