Nairobi

Arrived Tuesday night. Had minor visa /passport problems.  Took a cab to Norfolk Towers (right outside downtown). Went to Simmers for dinner with the other fellows. Wednesday 20th was Kenyatta Day; went to Paradise Lost with Wanda and Dan. Also stopped in at the Kenyan National Archives (museum).  Watched 7 Pounds in the evening after we had a great daal dinner courtesy of Lisa! A friend came into town in the evening so went for late night snacks.  The mosquitos here buzz like crazy so am fighting for sleep!  Visited Shaffina in hospital this AM, did lunch with Wanda - ate ugali, nyama choma, kuku, and sukomawiki at the market, and drank stoney tangiwizi which i've been missing in pemba! Back to the hospital, then to visit Abdul uncle who just came back from China. Can't wait to get some Velvet Chocolate cake - I stopped one of their trucks today to see where I could get one!  Though the sun is hot today, this place is a huge relief from the heat of Pemba!  The evenings are cool here - it's great!
