Last week was a bit of an off-routine week - I worked on my project Monday-Wednesday, and then Thursday and Friday I went to an ADP training course here in Nairobi. It was very useful and informative - I learned a lot about the developing world and its history. Five ADP-ers from Tanzania also came in for the training session, so it was fun to meet new folks. See below for a picture from one of our lunches together - the hotel where the training was held was beautiful!
On Friday, we went to The Carnivore for dinner - this is another all you can eat meat place, but it definitely has more of an “experience” flair to it. The restaurant specializes in exotic and game animals - some of the more interesting things I tried were ox heart, camel, and ostrich meatballs. The ostrich meatballs were definitely the best - I do not recommend camel! For an animal that stores so much water, the meat sure is tough!
The pictures are of the inside of the restaurant - very fancy - and of me with the “Doctor”. One of the popular drinks in Kenya is the dawa - honey, vodka and lime. It literally translates to ‘medicine’, which of course, you get from the Doctor. Hilarious.
After dinner, we went dancing at the Simba Saloon - more chances to hear all my new favorite tunes. Called it a semi-early night around 1 or so, because Saturday we leave for....Maasi Mara!!
Honey, vodka, and lime! Sounds delish! I will be requesting to mix up a few of those when you return!
