Nakuru


Today was crazy! We woke and went to the Nakuru Park. It was really fun. The monkeys at the beginning were hilarious! They climb on your car, and they jump in your windows if they are open. If you have bags, they play with them or run away them if they can carry it. The animals were beautiful and it was cool with the truck top popped.

After the safari we drove an hour to Naishu to a hippo water park, and we took a boat ride to see hippos. That was actually REALLY scary, but it was cool. Then we took a little hike on the ground to see non-violent animals.

Then we BOOKED to Nairobi and made it in time for the YaYa market. We had 30 minutes to spend the rest of our money. It was insane. I was a crazy woman trying to spend all my shillings and get all my gifts for people. I got plenty.

We stopped at the "mall" and picked up something I had ordered for Brent. I got him an authentic Germany soccer jersey from the world cup this year with his name on the back. It looks awesome!!!

We had our last meal at the Java House, and it was delicious. At 11 pm, we boarded our plane and left Kenya around 11:45 that night. It was bittersweet. God is still opening my eyes to what I saw and experienced. It will take a lot of debriefing at home to get it all sorted out, but I am excited to start the process. I can't wait to get home to Brent and share stories and talk about it.

Thank you for your prayers. It was an awesome experience (one that I cannot fully discuss in blogging), and I hope you got a glimpse into my time there.

Asante sana, Mzungus!
