Wed 12 Aug Went to the Nairobi Game Park with Linda and three-year old Andrew and their driver Josphat in their Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero in the United States). This was my first game drive, and we saw zebra, ostrich, monkies, baboon, hyrax, and gazelle, all within a few minutes from downtown Nairobi.

	We had stopped near a river to see if any hippos were around when I took this picture of a female vervet monkey. I was on foot about three feet away.
	I like this picture because it's so colorful. We bumped into another group on foot at the stop, and one of the guys was a cameraman for Fox News (does Fox do news?). Anyway, he walked up to this monkey and pointed his camera at it for about a minute and then walked away. He said he was in Kenya to cover the bombing.
	I took this picture of a female baboon and her baby from the back of the Pajero The dirty grass in the lower right corner is the very close to the dirt road. She was with a group of about 10 other baboon.

Thu 13 Aug Went to the Giraffe Center today. Picked up Brandon after his first day of kindergarden at the International School. Also at the International School, I met Joanne Husky and her daughter. Joanne and her entire family were in the embassy when the bomb exploded, and the family of four survived. Outwardly she seemed very strong, but there was a slight undertone of shakiness in her manner.

	This is a picture of Giraffe Manor adjacent to the Giraffe Park. You can actually stay in this building, and a giraffe might poke its head in your window for a snack.
	You can feed the giraffes at the Park, and here's my nephew Andrew (right) and his friend Kevin doing just that.
