The baboons love candy but have to get the wrapper off first. We did not have time to stay to see when he finally got it off. Next time we are going to bring bread or a banana to see what they do.

 Baboons are savvy about traffic. This one looks both ways when that truck comes along.

 
Masai Warrior in full costume who was also going through the tour at the Kazuri Beads Factory.As he put his arms around Sister Dalley, he said to Elder Dalley,"Are you sure you are not going to be jealous?" We assured him there was no problem.

Anytime is a good time to do a crossword puzzle.
Sister Dalley at the dining room table in the Nairobi flat where they are staying with another couple, Elder and Sister Moon who are serving in Kisumu. the flat was temporarily empty as there hasn't been a couple to replace the one that left last month.

We visited the Kazuri Bead and Pottery Factory that was set up to employ marginalized women who are unwed and were most probably victims of sexual assault. They make beads by hand. this happy lady is making beads a certain size from a template then she is poking a hole through them.The beads are then air dried for a week then baked in a kiln which is only fired up at night then has to be cooled for three days before the beads or pottery can be taken out. The beads are marketed all over the world and sold in upscale stores.

Eler Dalley at the Giraffe Center feeding 'Daisy' a five year old giraffe. her tongue is 18 inches long so you just drop the pellet onto it. See how adept Elder Dalley is at feeding her without getting slobbered on.

Daisy is so sweet with those long eyelashes and soft eyes. They are Rothchild giraffes here, the ones with the white socks up to their knees. This center has 9 giraffes on 100 acres and is part of a conservation project. We learned they only sleep for 5 to 10 minutes in 24 hours and with their eyes open to fool their predators. They hang around with warthogs and get along well.

Sister Dalley tried to feed Daisy but put her hand in too far and got not only nipped but badly scared and slimed as well.

This is a huge poinsettia tree which grow all along the roads here in Nairobi.

Lots of women carry heavy loads on their heads. As a result they get compressed spines and get hunched backs when they get old. Others carry the loads on their backs and this results in a sway back and sticky our bums.

Elder Dalley and a baboon: which is which? Taken just down from the Osarian Flower Farm

More Baboons- Henry and George?

They keep running away from the white shirt and tie.

"Whatever is over there it is pretty interesting."

Elder Dalley by our branch which was a supermarket at one time. They just painted it the wonderful coral pink again.It is up a steep hill in back of a building with a hotel and hair salon. The road back down is pretty hairy.

Elder Dalley shows off his new Masai Rungu - pronounced roongoo with rolled r's- or lion killer. Do you think you could get close enough to a lion to whack it on the head with that even though it has a sharp point in the middle of the round part?

Sister Dalley pointing to the new sheep skin we put above the couch. by the way we have a recliner, love seat with two recliners and the couch with two more recliners. We do not want for recliners.
