The previous day we drove 6 hours from the Maasai Mara to Nairobi, taking the scenic rift valley escarpment. We took in this roadside stop in Lari, overlooking a small portion of the Rift Valley. I had no idea it ran so far. Apparently, a very clear view from space. View from the ladies room back wall  We spent the night at our original hotel - The Boma and collected the bags we left the days prior.  Today we drove about 4 1/2 hours from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park.  We were thrilled to stop at this lovely hotel on the way. Some started their day with cappuccinos and others a bloody Mary, snuck into their coffee to-go cups. No, those are not real tusks.  The view across the vast marsh.  An ostrich. Apparently they look like they are burying their heads in the sand, at times, but they are taking care to turn their eggs buried there.  Snoozing hippos, best left alone, unlike the bison of Yellowstone… Lunchtime https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/e5e1f0a0...

 The land cruiser rides were bumpy in the wilds. Called a Kenyan massage.  https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/9ba3c93ce0cd4f1a991c26cc06cec85f Here are some zebra  https://lightroom.adobe.com/shares/d1014d1588314df698ff383ac74e02d3 I’m with Heidi, our trip leader, and the adventurous Bobbi, who snuck into our cruiser for a morning. We were released from our dusty Kenyan massage in our land cruisers for a glorious respite at a lodge. Beer and views.  It seemed Earnest Hemingway would appear any minute. Old painting of a migration, long ago.  A chandelier seemingly out of Z Gallery Awesome end to another fabulous day!

 We enjoyed our stay at the Kilima Safari Camp  This was our group’s last ride with Marcus, an excellent guide. He kept his humor at all times. Kilimanjaro came out to say goodbye. One more Kenyan massage And a curio stop. Bob talks it up with the artisans. They think I’m his daughter.  This time we arrive with a bubbled tire, instead of a flat. The Kenyan massage can be rough on everything.
