The team from school is now here in Nairobi and we are with them for three weeks. The past few days have been really busy. We have done some really awesome things. We went to a giraff shelter where we fed them and pet them. They are huge!
We also went on our first safari! We drove through the Nairobi game park on Saturday morning and saw many things. We saw Zebras and giraffs and many other things. For lunch we went to Mamba (swahili for crocodile) restaurant for lunch. We ate outside at one big table under a tent and had an amazing lunch. the restaurant also cut us an awesome deal. We went into their crocodile and ostrich farms for free. It was an unexpected but really cool stop.
Tommorow we are heading out to Masai Mara for a few days on a safari. It should be relaxing. This is one of the touristy highlights of our time in the travel study.
The only drawback of the change in locations is that we do not have constant internet access. I know that this will greatly disturbe Shawn! :) However, this means that we will not be posting as regularily as usual…sorry mom and dad!!!
Thanks for your continued prayers. Please pray for the team as a whole while we are on this three week travel study. Pray for health and safety as we will be eating new things and traveling in Kenyan style…by bad roads and long train roads!

I guess you are coming up against the reality between what we think or feel we should do and what needs to be done;a very hard question. Enjoy your safari. Love from all of us. The Carson Clan
