Fare Thee Well

Yesterday being Paula's last day in Kenya (for now), we decided to do something special. Nairobi has a charming little theatre built in colonial times just a five-minute drive from the Flora Hostel. It accommodates about 100 people and every viewer is within 15 feet of the stage. We attended the delightful matinee presentation of "Cemetery Club", a comedy by Ivan Menchell. It was very funny as well as poignant, reminding us of "Steel Magnolia".

Our final fun event before she flies out tonight takes place two blocks from the Flora Hostel. Paula's treating us to lunch at a Chinese restaurant (and this is the Chinese New Year). Brother Vincent will be joining us---there was no opportunity to get down to see him these past three months of Paula's visit, so this grand finale will be their hello and goodbye, until next time. Safari Njema Paula! Don't delay in planning a speedy return!
