The start of my journey..

i had the most amazing time in Kenya the past few weeks.
I hope that i can explain and describe everything i experienced while i was there, it was definitely life changing meeting the people i met, and being exposed to different cultures

on my way over to Kenya our flight had a 10 hour layover in London.
Much to my sister's jealousy I got the opportunity to walk around London for a bit, and boy did we walk! We made our way from Buckingham Palace all the way down to the Tower of London.It felt good though after sitting in a plane for 9 hours.

London Eye

Tower Bridge

random lounge chairs where mostly homeless slept.

We left London 7 or something like that to make our final stretch to Nairobi, Kenya for another long 8 hour flight. We landed in the morning early and our goal was to stay up until that night so we can get on the Kenyan time schedule (its a 10 hour difference from California for me)

We went to an elephant orphanage where they find baby elephants that have been trapped or orphaned and they were so cute! When they are ready and old enough they are released to the wild.

They also had one baby rhino that was born premature and he said it could fit in their hands.
It is now 6 months old but at the size it should have been when it was born. It was a social little fella just run right up to people to be pet. I kind of want one now...

Later in the day as we got more delirious and tired we went to see and feed the giraffes..

and kissed them too.

can't you tell i enjoyed it?
Probably a lot better then other guys i have met... :)

We then went to where they filmed Out of Africa and Karen's home and it was beautiful

i also held a baby crocodile.
by this time at least i was completely out of it and couldn't wait to sleep and see the children in Kenya the next days to come.
Those kids stole my heart.

More to come...
