Nairobi National Park/St. Joseph House

our bus!

Day 2:  Nairobi National Park - quite a trip.  From the windows of a bus with absolutely NO shock absorbers, we saw lots of wildlife.  I wish I were more knowledgeable about what was out there - got a little research to do.  But we DID see zebras, buffalo, deer, storks,quail, wart hogs, rhinos and a wide variety of birds.  AND LIONS!!!!
Back on the homefront - St. Joseph Retreat House - almost everyone now has  arrived. Thanks to Br. Chris from Australia, for getting everyone into their rooms and out on their respective trips today.
 Tomorrow, we will get a tour of the Marist International Center, be entertained by the students there and have dinner in their cafeteria.
St. Joseph is one of three houses where delegates are staying...all relatively close to each other.  Meeting our fellow Marists today was lots of fun- just wish I knew how to speak Spanish!
