Yesterday we went to the Giraffe Center located in Nairobi's suburbs. The Canadians were going as well so Chris, Emma, Sam, and I decided to tag along. Steven and I are poor though so we decided instead of taking a taxi we'd take a matatu/walk. Sam decided to come along as well, and after getting lost a few times we finally made it there. I'm really glad we decided to walk because by the time we got there, there was no one at the desk, and we got in for free! Yeh, so I was disgustingly happy the rest of the day. It was so weird being that close to giraffe, and I took a ton of pictures. Giraffes are so beautiful! I put food in between my lips so on several occasions I was kissed by the giraffes...check out my video!!! The past couple of days at the clinic have been very exciting also. Today I gave HIV tests by myself using the needles. I also assisted in stitching up a little boy's head (it was AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE). His eye was about the size of a baseball. I've felt kind of like a pharmacist lately too considering I've been counting and giving out all the medications to patients. These experiences in a clinical environment just further convince myself my future is in medicine.

Hey Kelly,
Sounds so cool. I can't imagine the smile on your face with the giraffees!!!!! And doing stitches! Pretty awesome. Wish I could view the pictures - they still won't open for me. But I enjoyed reading your blog. Love, Mom
