Living a Dream: Greetings from Kenya

Nairobi has continued to be full of wonderful surprises. One day this past week we went on a little nature walk. It was a preserve for primate research though we were told there were no animals. It was a lovely place to have our picnic, see beautiful scenery, explore a cave, and we considered ourselves lucky when we saw some monkeys swinging in the trees. It made for a great escape anyway from the small confines of the apartment. We also got to enjoy some delicious fro.yo. (frozen yogurt) afterwards. More recently we had the opportunity to go to the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage. It was an amazing experience to have baby elephants bumping into us. We saw them feed them bottles, introduce them by name and where/why they were orphaned. Katelyn had one stand on her foot and the same baby put my skirt in its mouth. There is really nothing quite like having a baby elephant sucking on your skirt. Once in a lifetime experience I say. Our time in Kenya is drawing to a close, but there are still a few fun things for us to do. Tomorrow will be an embassy visit to get additional passport pages, there is swimming planned, and much more. These last couple weeks will fly by I am sure.
