it was a luxurious safari weekend! peter, isaac and i spent two nights in the maasai mara, a famous game reserve about five hours down the dirt path from here. it was fantastic – we saw most of the animals possible to see – including a leopard, cheetahs, lions (and babies), water buffalo, giraffes, elephants (and babies), etc.! we stayed in a tented camp – but they were luxury tents that had toilets and showers! the food was delectably gourmet, although the portions were a bit small and they wouldn\u2019t give us any more. overall though the safari was definitely worth it despite the price tag. it was just the three of us to a huge land cruiser with openings in the roof so we got to stand in the open air the whole time! on friday, which was actually the day we were supposed to leave on safari but didn\u2019t because we didn\u2019t plan things out in advance well enough, we went into nairobi to a western style shopping mall called village market, and i was reminded anew of my appreciation of american-style consumer culture. i am definitely going to go back there just for the warm fuzzy feeling one gets when looking upon aisle upon aisle of any item one could wish to buy (it\u2019s a rarity in africa).<\/p>\n
