Wednesday was an unexpected holiday. The government decided the week before that Id (a Muslim religous holiday) was going to be a public holiday. Not good time for accountants trying to wrap up the year, but what to do?
Stephen thought we shouldn't just sit around the house, but we should go out and do something. So we went to the National Museum of Kenya - or tried to. When I had come to Nairobi a year ago September, I also tried to go to this museum; it was under renovation. Even though today the building looks done, it is STILL under renovation. So we went to the neighboring Snake Park instead. There are lots of things besides snakes at this place - crocodiles, turtles, fish, lizards: things in the replite family. Lexi wasn't all that interested in most of the things, but the fish cauhgt her attention. I assume because they were moving around rapidly. If you are a resident it is cheaper to get into things like national parks, game parks, etc., but we don't have that official paper yet so we pay the full price.
We had to skirt the edge of downtown to get there, but the traffic wasn't horrible. The traffic lanes downtown aren't well marked. It gets a little crazy in the roundabouts as well because they have traffic lights! Sort of defeats the purpose of a roundabout we think. But we made our way home using a route we hadn't driven ourselves so we are slowly figuring out how things connect.
