Yaya

I've done a good amount of things during the past couple of days. I went to different animal orphanages on Saturday which was amazing. First we went to an elephant orphanage which was pretty good. The elephants were pretty chill and I saw them get fed basically from huge baby bottles full of milk. A baby rhino came out at the end which was pretty cool too and he or she started to charge at everyone. After that we went to a giraffe orphanage which was amazing. You walk up on some high platform and you can feed the giraffes. I kissed one a couple of times and kept petting them. I have videos and pictures that I'll post when I get home since I don't want to accidentally break my mom's camera by connecting it to a cheap Kenyan computer. I saw so many cool souvenirs at the giraffe orphanage but they were so expensive so I told myself I would wait until I went to the Massai Market. After the giraffe orphanage we went to a couple of other little places for people to eat then we went to MONKEY PARK! That was one of the coolest places I have ever been to in my life. Once you get out of the car, little monkeys start chasing you and jumping all over you. That's just the parking lot. When you get to the actual monkey park you see dozens of little monkeys running around right in front of you. Some attacked me when I started waving peanuts in front of their faces and I also managed to get a lot of them to jump all over my head and back. I really can't wait to show people the videos and pictures. After monkey park about six of us went out to some restaurant called Max Land and after an hour of waiting we got a big tray of chicken, tomatos, goat, and chips (french fries). The whole day was great and only cost 31$. I wish the next day was the same. Yesterday my friend Callum and I went to the Massai Market at Yaya. The Massai Market is a huge market that has thousands of souvenirs for people to buy. All of the sellers there try to get you to buy their things and they usually rip you off, but I was prepared. It reminded of the Jamaican craft markets that I used to go to whenever I went to Jamaica, except these Kenyans were ten times fiercer than the Jamaicans. I brought a lot of caps that said New York on them and click pens to trade and I was successful. I bargained down a painting from 4000 kes to 700 and that's basically how my whole day there was. I was probably the toughest bargainer in there and I walked out with a lot of nice paintings, sculptures, shirts, and bags for about 71$. Not too bad but I don't plan on killing my cash flow anymore.
