I read 5 books (besides travel guides) on my vacation, including two for the Chunkster Challenge (reviews coming up):
THE MARK by Jen Nadol
A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE by Anita Shreve
NOTES FROM MY TRAVELS by Angelina Jolie
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett
We were visiting good friends in Nairobi, so we spent quite a few days there just hanging out in their house, going to restaurants, attending the Guy Fawkes Day fireworks (sponsored by the British Embassy) and looking at real estate (they intend to move house). Not the typical tourist stuff - though we did do that too, including a trip to the Langata Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Baby Elephant Orphanage.
Daniel and a new pal:

More soon, including our trips to:
Hell's Gate National Park
Lakes Bogoria and Baringo
Lamu (World Hertiage Site)
Masai Mara National Reserve
Ngorogoro Crater (World Heritage Site)
Arusha National Park

What is going on with that baby elephant? It looks like its either in a trance or has spotted something incredibly exciting on the ground. Either way, adorable.
How privileged you are to have been graced with the place where all the animals roam.
