Day 10 – Back to the Stanley

We feel like The Stanley Hotel is our home base and it’s always good to be home, as long as we don’t venture out of the hotel that is.  We went out on our own in Nairobi for the first time today to the souvenir shop and made it back unscathed, whew!  This is a crazy busy city both with a constant stream of cars cutting each other off and wall to wall people running across the street weaving around the cars stopped in traffic.  Today while we were stopped, a naked man walked up to a policeman and hit him with his shirt and said to him, “you think you’re really a hot shot, don’t you” (James translated).  Because he was mentally ill, the policeman did nothing, just chuckled.  Our driver explained that the police here only harass people that look like they have money so that they can be bribed.  That’s a secure feeling.  Since we don’t have much to write, I’ll post a photo of Judy and James (our driver).  He’s a great guy and has made this trip very enjoyable.
