Hi, everyone! First, thanks for your concern. I've been in Kenya for ten days and have another ten to go (here and in Tanzania). The terror in Nairobi is awful, but I'm perfectly safe.
I've been traveling around the Maasai Mara and surrounding area the last few days, and it's been magical. Kenya is beautiful and its people are amazingly friendly.
I'm in Nakuru now and have wi-fi for the first time since Sunday and maybe the last time for a week, so I've just updated my blog/website, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instsgram. If you're following me on all of those, sorry for the bombardment, but I encourage you to take a look (johnroundtheworld.com). Full photo albums on Flickr probably won't come until I get to Jo'burg next weekend. Until then.....
