the high before i fly

... and a bit of a crazy month before i land

speaking of baobabs

today was less gloomy and wet than it has been all week, so i decided to get out for lunch.  i was waiting on the road for a matatu and a little white car stopped.  did i want a ride? i don't expect that in this neighbourhood - too snooty. i accepted. a british writer/lawyer/conservationist living in kenya for 30 years. i asked about his writing.  his last effort was a book about baobabs. i love baobabs.

i got out at the shopping mall and walked to the Rusty Nail for lunch.  beautiful setting and interesting menu.  i decided on the khaloumi/red pepper/zucchini kebab with brown rice.  the service was attentive and the food delicious.... unlike the experience of the reviewers.

after lunch i went across the street to the Souq.  so many lovely things.  i settled on two little bracelets.

3 hours later i am back behind my computer.  shhhh
