Tonight was the night we decided to get the whole group out for the first time. We were all looking forward to it. So at about 5pm, Emily and and I set out to walk from school to my house (she was spending the night). It had been POURING for the last hour or so, but if we didn't walk home soon it would be dark and then unsafe to walk. Needless to say we got SOAKED. It was absolutely insane. The water was so high in the roads that it was pouring up over the curb. We didn't even try to stay dry. On our walk home we passed a schoolbus full of children, who were all saying "how are you? how are you?!" as they often do - it's one of the first English sentences they learn. We turned to them and said "mzuri sana!" which means "very good!" and they laughed and laughed. We definitely made their day - - two crazy white people walking around in the rain.
We all met at Timers - a restaurant/bar that's pretty near my house, just past the city park. From there we went to Mwendas and then to Changes - two other clubs we frequent in Nairobi.
Nothing too exciting happened - I took a flaming shot, which was quite exciting and tasted DISGUSTING. But it was a birthday gift and it was actually kind of fun. Here's some pictures from the night:
