Took a trip to the Nairobi National Museum. The exhibits on Masaii "coming of age" rituals was really well done. It sketched the life of a typical Masaii boy who becomes a man and how circumcision and piercing play such a huge role in that. I was fascinated by the sharp line drawn between boys and men and even men and women. In our cultures we don't have such lines (between men and boys or men and women for that matter) nor such roles. The tribal unit is fascinating because everyone seems to work in a tight interdependent community, reciprocating responsibilities and duties with each other.

Outside gardens were beautiful. B/c of political turmoil there were few tourists out.

NAKUMATT! The kenyan wal-mart.

Dormans coffee. Grade AA goodness. I drank more coffee in the last 3 days than I have in the past 3 months.
