This weekend we played tourist again here in Nairobi. On Saturday, we went to the National Museum and the Snake Park. At the museum, we saw an array of exhibits beginning with a temporary art show on the theme of trees. We then proceeded to the main exhibition that includes a display of the origins and evolution of man, an exhibit displaying the wild safari animals of Kenya, a portrayal of key aspects of the prominent Kenyan tribes, and lastly, a representation of how Kenya has changed over the years. Taking pictures of many of the exhibits was a bit challenging due to lighting, but here are some pictures!
As for the Snake Park, not being the biggest fan of snakes, the snakes were not my favorite. Both Patrick and Jen held a snake – Patrick even held one around his neck! Eww! – but I decided against it. Just a touch was almost too much for me! But we also got to hold chameleons and a tortoise. Now that was fun! The park also had crocodiles and an American alligator, along with a variety of highly poisonous snakes. A little scary, but all in all, a great day!
