Nairobi to Meru - wow!

What an amazing day we had today!  The sights on our four-hour drive north to Meru were fascinating, beautiful, incredible!  Still can't believe I'm in Kenya.

We saw:  acacia trees, colobus monkeys, local markets in every little town we went through, goats, cows, and people everywhere - walking along the roads, bicycling along the road, selling wood, fruit, charcoal, fish, and providing every kind of services you can think of.

Our road was paved the entire way.  The scenery kept changing and we watched out the windows the whole way.  There's no way to describe the scenes except in pictures. 

Lunch was atTrout Tree restaurant down a dirt road.  The restaurant is open air, built on several decks around a huge tree.  The grounds are trout ponds.  I ordered fresh grilled trout.  Had to wait for out trout to be caught before they could grill it.  So delicious!  Wonderful experience & food!  This is where we watched the colobus monkeys.

Colobus monkeys - they're BIG!

I'm bummed out that I can't get photos to load - internet is not fast enough.  I'll try again tomorrow - perhaps internet will be good at Kenya Methodist University - where we will be teaching teachers.
