Dan and Merrie's African Safari



Nairobi, Thursday 8/18 - Friday 8/19

We began our trip at the airport in Nairobi, after traveling some 50 hours and 20,540 miles from San Francisco. Thus our first day in Africa was spent eating and sleeping and hoping that our bodies would be in better shape when our safari started.

Dan's face says "I like the view from our hotel room window", but his mind says "I don't know what's going on and I need to go to sleep".

This is the rare African fakus elephanticus, seen only in the lobby of the Safari Park Hotel.

Dan poses by a sausage fruit, a favorite of giraffes in East Africa. The sausage fruit, I mean. Not Dan, or this picture of Dan.
The canonical giant-font "this is where we were" picture.
