Nilda's visit

For the past week we have had Tim's mom, Nilda, visting with us here in Nairobi.  We have had a busy week taking in many local sights.

We have visited the Giraffe Centre and Kazuri Beads.  We spent Kenyatta Day (Kenyan National holiday) on safari at Nairobi National Park.  We went to the animal orphanage and had the rare privilege of holding a 3 week old baby cheetah.


We have enjoyed an international menu:  Indian food at Diamond Plaza (which included Nilda's first taste of goat), Kenyan food prepared by Cathy, soup at the Lord Errol fund-raiser for New Dawn School, pizza at home.


 Despite our Kenyan adventures, we have also had time to sit on the deck and watch the rain (amid the clothes drying).  The Kenyans have said that Nilda's visit is a blessing because she has brought rain with her.  We have had 4 nights of rain since her arrival and we believe that the rainy season has finanlly arrived.  We can not say that the drought is over though...... that remains to be seen.
