Day 4!

So today was hilarious. We drove up to "Nairobi National Park" and Jay turns to me and says "don't get excited. We're just making a u-turn." And I'm like "I figure." and she bursts out cackling. But then we continue driving around for a while and even spaced out I eventually realize no u-turn could take this long. Then Jay's mom gets out to talk to the people at the gate and I'm like "holy crap. We're actually going on a safari?!" and Jay's like "...of course!" so I get excited.

But then it turns out Jay's mom didn't bring anyone's ID's and in order to get into the park everyone needs them :/

So we finally go to the hills instead. It's nice enough. There's trees everywhere and Jay's mom says it's where "Out of Africa" was set, not that that means anything particular to me. She goes on about how the author of the book lived nearby and died of syphilis, so me and Jay pretend to be major fans of hers and start speculating on who we can sleep with passing by who might be carrying the same strain of it that killed her. We then stop at a camp site and have a picnic. For once the kids aren't too annoying and even though I don't eat the food (I counted 15 flies buzzing around food displayed. 15!!!!) I'm not really hungry and it's really peaceful and nice. Then some Maasai come over selling some wares and I buy a pretty crown and a headdress. All in all, it's a really lovely day. Easily my best here. I'm happy.
