2:20 Lots of traffic leaving Africa House to drop off Raúl. Then went to Strathmore School to pick up Patrick, a 4th year law student at the school my uncle is the dean of, at Strathmore. While there just casually ran into the Spanish ambassador who he knew, which seems to be a recurring theme, who doesn't he know.
3:12 After that we went to a Njuguna Place, a type of nyama choma,where they serve grilled meat with some tomato and corn dough that is surprisingly similar to uncooked arepas, a Venezuela corn bread type thing. (Un)surprisingly one of the people that worked there recognized my uncle and gave us special meat, whatever that means. It was pretty fun roadside place, not fancy at all, eat with your hands sort of deal but yum. Then now went to pay for the safari things after lunch even though I guess technically we were supposed to go before, luckily the lady didn't seem too upset. Also learned that going with people wouldn't substantially have added to the costs of the safari, something to keep in mind for the future I was told.
5:51 After dropping Patrick off we went to Westgate Mall to exchange some money. If you're worried about my being here maybe don't Google it or events that may have happened there. They now have metal detectors and bag x-rays to get into a mall, ok? We then took quite a while in safaricom (the Telcom operator) to switch my sim card to my nexus 6p since the 4's battery was just too far gone and my plan to share battery responsibilities failed. Apparently the airport reseller does some sketchy stuff since the guys at this office were really surprised by the name registered into the account or that we never had to show id or anything. It took a while to transfer stuff and I took advantage to up my data a bit. Then got a couple of disposable razors and contact solution and am now waiting in a church parking lot for Wambui to pick me up while my uncle goes to mass.
