Entering the country with a bit of trepidation, we finally arrive in Nairobi (after changing our plans three times since the start of the trip) The political situation after contested elections late last year led to violence that left more than a 800 dead and displacing hundreds of thousands Kenyans . Though the violence has ebbed, the political agreement between the two rival parties is shaky at best, meaning that there is a potential for things to flare up again during our stay. But for now, all is relatively calm (note this gallery was shot on 3/26/08). With our new friend Benard Langat, a Kenyan long-distance runner, we take a tour around Nairobi, seen here in today’s photo gallery.
