It's been a whirlwind first three days since my friend Nicoletta and I left Rome to fly, via Addis Ababa, to Nairobi, which--on my third visit in five years--is beginning to feel familiar to me.
And goods like these in the outdoor market.
Saturday saw Nicoletta's first visit to the Karen Blixen Museum. It was my third time but I saw little details that I hadn't noted before. I know they will show up in future books.
We've had great meals in the garden next to our hotel...
...And one with my dear friends from Samburu: Sarah and Michael--who brought us Maasai gifts and a banner showing their dedication to the cause Sarah champions among the girls of her tribe.
As I write this, we have just come back from spending the morning visiting an orphanage for elephants and rhinos left without mothers. Sometimes due to poaching. Sometimes because they were separated from the herd. One baby elephant fell down a well at age three months and was rescued.
We spent the afternoon touring at the Nairobi National Museum, where I
photographed, BADLY but legibly, the entire exhibition on the history of Kenya.
We have many adventures still to come. Stay tuned.
