That was very weird, and I'm relieved to find my blog still works now. By the way, it seems Nyerumbi is an accent due to the particular dialect of our friendly driver Isaac, and Nye-robe-ee is the most common pronunciation after all. Indeed.

Sounds like every net connection is abuzz with odd (hackeresque) behavior. tvp Be careful over there in Nyerumbi, Doug. Sounds like every net connection is abuzz with odd (hackeresque) behavior.

Also - if you happen to see a tourist group called Overseas Adventure Travel with a bunch of older retired folks, try and find my grandparents among them. They just happen to be on an excursion over there for the next three weeks going all over the place. Anyways, I can't wait to see the pictures, and enjoy the rest of your trip!

There is definitely something funky about the wireless connection at the otherwise-cool Norfolk Hotel. Yes, Tom, we're going to get some photos of non-tourist stuff. The driver we had on the safari is great; his name's Isaac, and we've arranged Wednesday morning for him to take us around Nairobi on a non-tourist photo safari. He knows exactly what we want, and I'm very excited about the photos we're likely to get.

Not just the touristy stuff, either -- I hope you'll have a chance to get some shots of everyday Nairobi. It's one of the top three non-U.S. places I want to go before I die, along with Jerusalem and Baghdad. And with those two, I'd likely be going to them RIGHT before I die. At least these days. Have fun -- can't wait to see the pics! I’ve enjoyed a lot of your photos, but I’m really looking forward to these.

I posted the above text as a comment on the previous post last night, but it never showed up. Then I gave up on that and posted it separately, and that post (above) never showed up. Then I spent a bunch of time screwing around with various things to try to figure out what was going on, and then suddenly this morning -- about 12 hours after I had posted it -- this post appeared. So I'm not sure what's going on, and having already killed an hour or more on looking at timestamps, caching, cookies, and other details, I'm going to give up on that and forget about it until I get home. I'll post photos when I can, which may or may not appear eventually, but I don't want to spend any more of our very limited time here in Africa trying to figure this out. Moms, we've arrived safely, that's all you need to know. :-) Hmm, something very strange is going on here.
