Pre-safari day

While Vivian slept this morning, I helped Dimitrios, who will be the cook on our safari, to set up an email account and a Facebook account. I told him he will now have to email me all the recipes for the African meals he cooks for us. We know he is a good cook because he has cooked our meals here at Rock House and they have been wonderful.

Samuel drove us to the Giraffe Center and suggested we might be interested in the Bomas of Kenya, which was not too far away. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to explore the various villages very much. I found it very interesting and Samuel was able to provide some insight into the context, so it would have been nice to have seen more before we headed to the auditorium to watch the dances. The show was very lively and colorful; the acrobat act was spectacular - Wow, what energy not to mention strength and control!

We are now preparing to start the safari tomorrow. I don't know when we'll have access to the internet again so I can't make any promises about our next posting. You can follow the intended itinerary here . Originally there was just Vivian and I on the safari but we are up to 6 people now. We have met all the staff who will be with us: Samuel is our driver, Dimitrios is our cook, and Elija is our guide. I believe we are in good hands. They have all been taking very good care of us here at Rock House. I guess we have to wait until the morning to meet the other travelers.
