My Day with Dad





john??  I didn't know you were in Nairobi!







My dad and I tried to play checkers on a chess board but couldn't remember how to play..sad face









BUT I did think this chair was really cool










we ate dinner with a girl ashley at the Carnivore: a restaurant where they bring all types meat on swords to your plate until you can eat no more and put down a literal white flag of surrender.  The picture shows the remains of chicken, beef, lamb, pork spare ribs, ostrich meat balls, and crocodile.  I got seconds on a couple of things but I did turn down the chicken liver.





Neal and John, I did not let ANY dessert go to waste.

JAMBO

I made it!! After meeting a few interesting people (the main one being a silly european woman who was standing on my seat/blanket/pillow as I got on the plane who kept speaking her language to me), self navigating through 4 airports, enjoying some tasty plane food (for realsies), annoying everyone with the size of my large blanket, and journaling with new sparkly gel pens thanks to my dear torie, I am finally here with my dad chilling in Nairobi.  For dinner we ate some chow mein and a submarine beef sandwich.  Sadly I couldn't act in my usual American ways of returning food when it is not perfect.  I asked for no mayonnaise, but I don't think Enoch knew what I meant.  I was very mature and scraped as much off as I could and then used my napkin to get what the knife couldn't reach in the grooves.  I am going to try to take some pictures tomorrow and put them up on here for a little test run.

Here I Go..

I started a blog...I am leaving my house and heading to the airport in 6 hours. I just said goodbye to a few of the phat bytches: Torie, Delia, and Rachel. Scott and Landon also came to say goodbye:) I am sad to leave them, but they reminded me as they prayed what wonderful friends I will be returning to. No time for sadness, I have to find my passport and finish packing. ttyl
