The upload speed's ok (in fact I uploaded some of these pics back in the USA) so if you click on a pic you should be able to see it in 1024x768 resolution.
In Nakuru we stayed at the Chester which I must recommend whole-heartedly. They have a good restaurant with good prices. A big plate of chipos is KES 80 or 100 ($1.20) and comes with a bit of cabbage/tomato/onion salad. We stayed on the 4th floor over a back entrance to the kitchen. Peering down we often saw kitchen staff peeling potatoes for the days' chips. No frozen fries from Idaho in Kenya, just fresh potatoes peeled that morning.
Mollie and the football stadium near the Chester Hotel.
A load of empty water jugs
A tuktuk on Nakuru's main street
Mollie visits with Judith, a friend from college.
Stacy's mom Judith, Stacy, Mollie, and Judith (also) have tea.
We visit Stacy and Judith. I'm a Stacy fan for the rest of my life.
Stacy walks us to the main road to catch a tuktuk back to the hotel.
Nakuru traffic
Bougainvillea, originally from South America and now beautifying Kenya
Some apartments visible from our hotel window
Mollie takes out her extensions. I'm a Mollie fan too. :) Thank you Mollie baby!
From our window, a view of a fellow that sharpens things, with his grinder on the back of his bicycle
Goats and people go about their business. Livestock wanders around during the day and knows where home is at night.
In the forground the hotel staff washes and dries the day's laundry. Lake Nakuru is in the distance.
Children play with tires, rolling them by hand or with a stick.
With only a camera to distract me, I wait in a salon as Mollie has an operation performed on her hair.
A woman and her daughter walk past. People don't have a coat for every occasion so this girl is wearing what she has.
A crowded matatu drives by while another stops to let off a passenger.
A woman in a skirt sits sideways on a bicycle taxi.
A motorcycle with 4 people on it waits for a truck to go over the speed bump. Usually the child sits in front of the driver, on the gas tank, but here the driver has scooted forward.
These children greeted us as we walked on towards the entrance of Lake Nakuru National Park.
