Nairobi Railway Museum

Again, sorry for the photo angle! Yesterday we went to the Nairobi Railway Museum. 

There were many trains to climb on. This would never fly in the US. The trains were very dirty and there were many possibilities of injury, jumping on and off the trains. The kids loved it!

Max, Sam and David (our guide)trying the bike on tracks.

This is a picture of  Matatu. They are small buses that should seat about 10, but usually have about 20 people crammed in. They are crazy and cause a lot of accidents! Apparently after the new year they will not be allowed in the city of Nairobi. This will help traffic a lot, but I do  not know how all those people will get around!

Good view of Nairobi!

Nairobi is a city of contradictions. (as I am sure most 3rd world cities are)You will see a modern high rise next to a slum and a Mercedes driving along a man pushing wood in a cart.

Today the kids and I met our neighbors from Sri Lanka and an expat family from Denmark. We have a lot to learn and are very happy to be educated by the wonderful people of Kenya.

Miss you all, Rebecca!
