Karen Blixen Museum more fun than you would think!

On Tuesday I went to visit the Karen Blixen Museum with Harriette, Ros, and Jackobi. Harriette told me to come over at 9am because they wanted to leave early but as usual we ended up not leaving until 11. Karen Blixen is the woman who the movie Out of Africa was based on. The movie is really boring but I decided it was something that I could check of my list of things I did. When we arrived no one was there which is generally a bad sign that the museum sucks but I decided to proceed anyway with some caution. The price for museums is 800 shillings for non-residents and for residents it is only 100, not fair. What would tourists think if Americans got a super good price for things and foreigners had to pay 8 times more, I don't think that would go over very well. Only Ros and I went into the actual exhibit, Harriette said that she had been there already to many times. You are not actually able to take pictures inside because of copyright infringement for the movie which was slightly weird. In the museum they have a bunch of clothes and stuff that Meryl Streep and Robert Redford wore in the movie, props and then her actual furniture. It only reason that it was interesting because it appealed to the movie buff inside me and it was exciting to be in a place where a big movie was shot. I will say the one thing that was nice about no one being there was that we were the only ones in the house during the tour so we could see everything close up and touch some stuff fun, fun fun! The tour only takes about 30 minutes and we then we went to take a look in the museum store. Everything in the shop was so expensive! They had some of the same things that I have seen in the Masai Market and they were like 4 times more expensive. Westerners will buy anything really, which makes it worse for people like me who actually have a budget to work with. When I went back to work in the afternoon I went straight upstairs to see what Rebecca had for me to do and she told me to check my email and hang out. I hate being at work with nothing to do. It makes me want to relax at home in my sweatpants. With nothing much going on it does make it easier for me to sneak off and have some fun!
