Tuesday, June 24th


Slept in a bit this morning and after a good breakfast at The Methodist Guest House, started some sightseeing at The National Museum of Kenya.  Very interesting info about the beginnings of mankind.  They have a skull there that dates back 17 million years.  Also much about the history of Kenya and the 42 tribes that occupied this region of Africa.

Magnificent display of wildlife.

We had a long drive then to the home of Rev Philip Makokha, of The Vine Foundation where we had been invited for lunch.  What a lovely home, he and his wife Rebecca have.  We were treated to what we initially thought was lunch, however after an hour or so a large spread of food was unveiled, including beef stew, chicken, ugali, curried rice, potatoes, spinach and cabbage.  Returned to Nairobi through very dense traffic.

Pat and Jennifer then preparing to return home, planning to leave MGH very early Wed morning.  We shopped in the MGH gift shop, had a rest for an hour or two and then back to the Art Cafe for 
supper.
