Greetings from the Nairobi Airport

So today we were supposed to be in Addis relaxing at our hotel and touring Africa's largest market. Of course that was assuming we actually made our flight last night from Nairobi to Addis which we did not. Oops. The day today was instead spent changing our flight for tonight and then walking around Nairobi's tiny market. We took our taxi driver to lunch at the Boulevard Hotel since Ian recommended the samosas and they lived up to their reputation. We then spent an hour at the newly renovated National Museum sooking at many stuffed animals that we will hopefully see live in Amboseli later this month.

Nairobi is much how I remember it. Big, smoggy, crowded, but full of life and incredibly helpful people. Some wanted to sell us something, but overall people are genuinely just nice. Thanks to the security guard who let me know my zipper was undone and the airline woman who let me use the phone. There are not as many tourists in town and people are hungry for business, but hoping that tourists are beginning to return after the violence.

We're now at the airport waiting for our flight. Our gate is being called, so I'm off. More about Kenya later and next blog - Ethiopia!
