Kenya May 20—27th, 2007





John had a conference in Romania the middle of May and returned through Nairobi, Kenya so Sara and Karis joined him there for a wonderful week of vacation. We have always heard good things about Kenya and must say that from the quality of Kenyan Airways, the graciousness of the people and the amazing safari and coast it more than lived up to our expectations. Some of the highlights:
Due to the large number of Indians in Kenya, masala tea , chapattis and “real’ samosas are a part of the local diet and are readily available. Although there is also a large Indian/Pakistani population in Malawi unfortunately these foods are not common place here. Malawian samosas have cabbage instead of potato—truly an abomination!!
Seeing a cheetah “kill” in Masai Mara
Seeing the Masai decked out in their traditional attire
Karis absalutley loved the ocean. She is normally scared of waves but where we stayed there was a coral reef about one Km out so the waves broke there making the water very calm at the shore!
