NAIROBI

June 21, 2013
We went to Nairobi for some training foe the
computer program for Seminary and Institute and for
a farewell dinner on Saturday for 
President and Sister Broadbent
with the other senior missionaries.
Here are some pictures of our travels and 
other things in Nairobi.
We went the southern route through Litein and Narok.
But we also took a cutoff from Litein to Bomet and
it was a beautiful route. The road good but it really wound
through the hills and lovely tea farms!!
It appeared that every square inch of hillside was covered 
with plants - crops, trees, bushes.
More scenery.
Everything was so green!!
Near the crest of a hill we were stopped by traffic and people.
There was a huge truck tipped over in the road and no one could 
pass on the road.
A car ahead of us took off the side of the road where it was
rough and had a dry ditch through it. One car
had been high centered but the pick-up ahead had went 
right on around and up onto the road on the other side.
We tried it and made it through.
I was worried but not scared as we tipped to one side and then
the other and over rocks and bumps.
I forgot to take pictures!!
Near Narok the scenery changed to wide open places,
flat and green for a while and then....
it was flat and very dry..
Just before the turn up the escarpment to Nairobi we
saw this wagon and the donkeys. The men seemed
glad we would take their picture.
A town just before the escarpment.
On the busy road in Nairobi we say this cart.
Click on the picture to read the sign on the side of the cart.
A trench was being dug by manual labor. 
You can see how deep it was and it was fairly long.
It was a good trip and we arrived at the center just in 
time for the training.
