Field Trip: Part Mbili

After visiting the museum on Friday, we went to the Snake Park at the same location. Inside were several aquariums and several glass cages for various dangerous snakes.  The students were checking out the largest pythons I have ever seen.

I thought we were going to watch these three chicks get eaten right then and there in a different cage, but apparently Mr. Snake had already had nine the day before.

I think the two Mommas who came as chaperones were a little grossed out.

More interesting than the glassed in snakes however, were the snakes in the central courtyard.  We were looking over a high wall into a grassy courtyard with well-trimmed trees.

There were snakes everywhere.  They were sticking their heads up out of the trees, crawling on the ground, trying to climb the wall, jumping from the trees, and climbing over the peaceful turtles.  There were buckets of snakes.

Sometimes, when there are buckets of snakes around, you need a friend to hold on to.

For lunch, we headed to Uhuru Park right off the City Center of Nairobi.

We spread Masai blankets on the ground, and ate PB&J's, bananas, and biscuits (which we call cookies).  There were a lot of other people around.  Some were selling things, others were sleeping on the ground, families were enjoying time together, and lots of people seemed to be just walking through.

I think for Kennedy, the sights were definitely more interesting than the lunch!
