Lions and zebras and giraffes, oh my!

We started our day with breakfast. As soon as we were finished we went to an elephant orphanage. It was fascinating to see the elephants that had been rescued because their mothers had been killed or they had fallen down into wells. From there we continued on to a giraffe park. Soon you will see pictures of the giraffe that kissed me and took his food right out of my mouth. Yes I was very brave.

Lunch was served at the Carnivore. We had soup, salad, corn on the cob and then ostrich meatballs, chicken, pork, lamb, crocodile, and camel. CRAZY! We ate outside and the setting was absolutely breath taking.

The afternoon was spent in the Nairobi National Park. Right inside the gate we were met by monkeys and warthogs. We saw giraffes, impalas, zebras, and elands. The sun was just beginning to set and we came upon 2 lions. They were resting on the side of the road. I literally took 50 pictures which I can't wait to post.

So tomorrow we go to the Masai Market. I think I will boost the Kenyan economy! ;-)

It has been a fabulous day in Nairobi. Good night, friends!
