Nairobi, May 23, 2009

Today was a day of re-visiting our favorite places in Nairobi to show Jamie why we keep coming back! Kennedy arrived for us in the morning, we then proceeded to go to Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage to see our favorite ellies, Kiambethu for a delicious lunch and then to KWS Wildlife Orphanage to say hi to the three cheetah girls & give them a big hug!
