KENYA: NAIROBI. DAY ONE.

It's been two weeks since I have been stateside. Two weeks of learning to adjust to new norms as a result of the coronavirus. Two weeks of trying to get the kids' schooling as organized as possible. Two weeks of going through hundreds and hundreds of photos, trying to select the absolute best of the best. And here we are; 325 images to share over the next few days. 325 images that capture a snapshot of the details, the experiences, and the moments in Kenya. I can't even attempt to cover everything in four posts, so instead I plan on six (with our stops in Nairobi included).

DAY ONE
After a red eye to New York on March 6th and a 14 hour flight the following day, we arrived in Nairobi, Kenya on the morning of March 8th. We added a day in Nairobi to our travels to accommodate for jet lag and to help us acclimate before being whisked away on our adventures. We were greeted at the airport and driven to our hotel, the Four Points by Sheraton. After a dip in the hotel pool (which overlooks the Nairobi National Park), we showered and decided on an afternoon outing. Using UBER, we visited the Nairobi National Museum and snake park. It was a quaint museum, with an in-depth history of Kenya's peoples, animals, economy and politics. At the accompanying snake park, we were able to see a variety of reptile species indicative of the region. Luckily, these were the only snakes that we saw during our 10 days in Kenya... Once we returned to our hotel (another adventure with UBER!), we ate at the hotel restaurant before calling it a night.
