Todays the day! The temp in Nairobi is 82*. For that reason alone I'm excited to go. I cannot tell you how fortunate Roy and I feel to be able to venture out and explore interesting places like Africa. Many people have asked why are we going back to Africa? I will tell you that it is the most amazing place I have ever seen and may ever see. The eco system although sometimes intimidating is also f...ascinating. The people are so culturally diverse and friendly that engaging with them you can't help but get an interesting perspective of life. Finally, as a large continent, there is SO MUCH to see. As you know we will be backpacking throughout our trip. We do this for several reasons. Back packing allows us to go to more remote areas and be more mobile. It also allows us to hang with locals and experience the country away from resorts ands cities. Finally, it is cheaper which makes it possible to go to Africa for extended periods of time. So....off we go! We will do our best to stay in touch and share our journey. Say a quick little prayer for us but don't worry we will be safe. XOXO
