Snow
It’s hard to believe we were enjoying the warm Kenyan sun just 10 days ago.

Santa was awesome this year and brought us 10 inches of fresh powder. Unbelievable.
I know that I’ve been experiencing cold winters my entire life, but going from sitting by the pool to snow yesterday was quite a shock. Looking forward to the slopes of CO though. I think I’ll be wearing this today.
Sure, we’re minus 2 bags, but we’re back!
And the best tusker I’ve had while in Kenya is at the airport on my way out. They must have the bottling plant near the airport.
There will be more pictures and stories to come, but I wanted to get these out before we headed out later today to go back home.
We had an awesome trip to the Masai Mara and I look forward to posting more about it and Amboseli once I get the time. We’re here for one night and then off to Cincinnati. See you all again soon.
Apparently someone in the flight booking department didn’t want me to leave Kenya, because as of 30 minutes ago, I had no seat on a flight out of the country. I luckily checked my flights and found that this serious mistake had been made. After 20 minutes on the phone I had been told that …
Amboseli was a blast. Hundreds of elephants, sleepy lions, Kilimanjaro, hippos, monkeys, baboons. It was incredible. On our way back to Nairobi to catch a flight to the Masai Mara. Hope to share more about it soon, but here are a few pics to start.
88mph Demo Day was a complete success. I’ll have to fill you in later, but here are some initial pics. For the complete set of pictures check out this album: http://photography.jbwoodruff.com/Travel/Kenya-2012/20121213-88mph-Demo-Day/
If there was one reason to move to Nairobi it would be the weather.

2 more days until Demo Day. Working hard for our startups.
Shan and I decided to spend the weekend outside of Nairobi to enjoy neighboring Naivasha. Our goal was to enjoy Hells Gate National Park and see some hippos. What we got was so much more. We booked a night at the Mt. Longonot Lodge based on the notion that I thought it’d be cool to …
We are officially one week away from the 88mph Demo Day and concurrently, my final day of work in Nairobi. It’s flown by and we’re making it go even faster with how busy we are getting everything ready. Pitch practice, booth design, financial scenarios, you name it, we’re getting it ready.
After not seeing her for two months, Shannon arrives in Nairobi this evening. She’s currently enjoying the airport in Paris and will soon be on her way to Kenya. I can’t wait.
Had a great day with Gustav and his family at the Nairobi Christmas Fair. Found lots of cool stuff for Christmas gifts.
