First day in Nairobi - Sat March 14

After breakfast we were met by Duncan, who was a driver Fred had arranged for us. He took us to the world famous Carnivore restaurant to pick up Fred. Fred came with us. First he showed us the construction on their new home. It is very grand.

From there we went to the baby animal rescue center in the Nairobi National Park. We saw several under one year old elephants. Then the older elephants. Then a little peanut of a baby rhino. On the way out we saw some older rhinos. One would not stay out in the wild of the park when they released it.

From here we went to the giraffe center. We fed giraffes by hand. My mother was smiling ear to ear. Robin held a piece of food in her mouth and got a giraffe kiss.

We ate at the Carnivore restaurant for lunch. Fred's wife Agnes joined us. We finally got to meet Bella's mother. We had to try lots of meats cut from skewers. It was an amazing eating experience.

We stopped at the Masai market on the way back to the hotel. It is a swap meet set up in the parking lot of the National court on Saturdays. We were immediately surrounded by people wanting to help us get good prices. Robin counted 10 of them. We waited for Sara, Bella's friend, and Fred. Fred left us and we went in. The "friendly" guys followed us. It was not a pleasant experience. That was too bad because there were very nice items to look
