Nairobi....no schedule

Was so nice to sleep in this morning and know we didn't have a schedule...no airplanes...woohoo!! Breakfast is included with our hotel stay...I was still a bit tired but Denny went down and brought me a few things back...so nice to just chill. At least until the pounding started outside our balcony/coutroom door. We share a courtroom area with other rooms and it's being renovated so the hammers started a bit early...bad luck for us but still a day to relax.

We did absolutely nothing today....our first full day in Africa and we were all so whopped we stayed right at the hotel. We got some to-do things done and some email/internetting done, but not much else to speak of. I skipped breakfast, the rest went down for it and said it was good....I got some fruit and yogurt and orderd some soup for lunch....just a slow day and a day to rest my mouth.

We did finally go down for dinner....Shea got spaghetti,...looked normal. I got pasta Carbonara...was about like you might expect...

Mom got Tilapia....looked a bit different but she said it was really good.

Denny got Spring Chicken....something like a broasted chicken, also was good.

I also got a Butternut Squash soup which was ok....Shea got an Apple tart dessert with ice cream and Mom got some bread pudding....I think Shea did better than Mom, but both good. Denny kept asking for coffee....he never got it until after dinner...another lesson learned...they don't drink coffe WITH dinner, only AFTER...so they assumed that's what he wanted....now we know to be specific. So many odd little things. Tomorrow we check into the Boma hotel which is the "start" of our safari...they assumed we arrived on 9/1, and would be coming from the airport....we're glad we got here early and as Shea put it...we could have a hotel "staycation" to catch our breath. 

Off to bed and to see what tomorrow brings...we're thinking of heading to a mall, maybe a museum...who knows....good night all...
