HELLO FROM AFRICA


Hello everybody! I just flew into Nairobi Saturday. On the drive to our friends house I saw many things. There was lots of really colorful trees and flowers, acres and acres of grassland and lots of storks in the trees.

Their house is up on a big hill where we could see everything. They have a huge house with a clubhouse and play structure in their backyard. Yesterday we went and saw lots of animals. First we saw giraffes, pheasants and warthogs. We only got to feed the giraffes. When they licked the food out of our hands, our hands were covered in slobber. A funny thing was that the giraffe would open its mouth and we would throw the food into it.

Finally we saw crocodiles, ostriches and rabbits. We saw both baby and adult crocodiles. When the keeper poked the crocodiles with a stick it would snap its huge jaws. It sounded like someone cupping their hands and clapping but it was about fifty times louder. Then we saw ostriches, camels and rabbits. Then we went back to their clubhouse.

Hi, Eliot!

I just got the URL for your guys' blog from your Dad's Facebook page and I'm really impressed! The pictures you took of London and Big Ben and the Tower of London are terrific. I recognize the pictures of all the spears and stuff from when I visited the Tower years ago.

Your trip sounds like so much fun so far and I think it's terrific you're writing once a day to keep us all back here in the U.S. up to date on all your adventures! You also must be seeing so many new things and learning so much.

Say hi to your Mom, Gabby and Thomas and Dolma, too!

- Duncan.
