first night in africa
I spent my first night/day in Africa in Ong'ata Rongai, 25km from Nairobi, at a stranger's home. Call it a suburb or slum, I slept well. I was welcomed with hot rice and milk by candlelight. There was no electricity when I was there. I slept on the couch. The woman who hosted me calls herself Mama Edna. She's a relative to my friend Daudi. Many thanks to her for waiting for me faithfully at NBO the night I arrived. My camera loved her beautiful daughter Edna.
[I've decided that if I post more than four or five photos, I'll use this click through format. Hope this makes navigation easier.]

These pictures are great! I still can't believe you were in Africa. Hey, can you show me how to do the slideshow with the captions. I'd love to do that on my blog! :-)
The giraffe photo is spectacular!
loving the sixth shot in here... with the sheets all tied up around the room, and the daughter (?) looking up...
