A safari on Saturday and polo practice on Sunday- two different worlds. Today, Christine invited me to the country club with her for lunch and to watch polo. They have a few polo teams in the area and were just having a practice day. We stopped by and watched for a bit. The players were all ages, and the son of the ex-president flew in to practice for a few hours. Following some socializing at the polo club, we went to the Gilgil Country Club for lunch. It’s an interesting country club, as it is all white Kenyan and expatriate members. The members staff the club themselves, each with a day on the calendar to take care of different jobs. While the women prepare meals for approximately 50 people as their duty, the men have to take turns tending the bar. I think the strategy is nice for community building with its members.
