What a great weekend! we went to nairobi to visit the monkey park. Honestly, one of the most beautiful place ive ever seen. It was straight out of the jungle book. Anyways, you grab some peanuts and the monkey just come running from the trees and bushes and immediately jump on your shoulder, head, waist, anything, trying to grab the peanuts. Poor Courtney did not know that the monkeys were free to jump on you, so she got a little freaked out when one surprised her from behind. The experience was amazing, and just walking around the park and the city was great. We visited the huge market as well, which was so much fun. I had no idea how exciting bargaining is!
the weekend was finished with a trip to Hells Gate. We have never done anything so thrilling. It was a 5 mile bike ride to the hiking gorge. We hiked for 2 and a half hours, which included hot springs, waterfalls, and free climbing a 20 foot sheer rock wall (no ropes included). We ended up going all the way to the top of one of the rock formations and the view was breathtaking.
A great weekend began our last week here. Today we said goodbye to our classrooms, and tow of my students wrote back to Dom and Vinny. I can't wait to give them the letters! We are off to the IDP camps to give away the rest of our donations. In the words of Dom, "It feels kinda good to give away this stuff."
