They were so cute, we don't think they had seen many mzungu(white) people. Once one of them came and touched our hands, they all formed a line and had to do the same. Charles, the driver, said they would all go home and tell their family they had touched a mzungu!
After leaving the Giraffe Center, we went to the Karen Blixen (Out of Africia) coffee bar and restaurant. There was a gift shop in an older house home and gardens, where we had tea and scones. Lisa said it was part of the plantation, not the actual museum. I saw the ugliest dog I've ever seen, and whenever I went to take a picture, it disappeared.
We picked up Ida, the housekeeper, after our tea. Lisa and Kristoffer are sending her to cooking school. There are three sessions, today ended the first session, and she told us she was the best student (and proud of it). She gets a certificate after each session, and that will help her in future employment.
On the way to the center, we saw lots of interesting things, including two herds of cattle. On the way back, we saw just a couple of cows walking along the road. A little further along the road, we saw goats. That's Kenya!
We kept Grace with us while Lisa took a nap when we got home. Today Grace is 3 weeks old! Well you aren't going to believe this, but she flipped herself from her back to her stomach. I have pictures. Had to wake Lisa up to show her - she thinks she has an olympic gymnast on her hands!
The power was out for about 4 hours the generator wasn't working either! Lisa was going crazy because tonight is another night of American Idol! Thank goodness the power is back on, and the cable is working!
When we get a chance we will download pictures of the giraffe feeding ! and the cows walking.
Mary - you mean there are no cattle walking on Clam Pudding? Really enjoying your blog - just like sitting with you at the bridge table! I have given this link to many, many New Virginians to enjoy. Keep it up - we love it!...........Pat D.
