Nairobi 1°13'47.93"S 36°53'33.23"E

Today I flew to Nairobi, Kenya, just south of the equator. The flight took far too long, and I got in very late at night. I checked in at my hotel. The next day, I headed to Kasarani Stadium where there was a local soccer match.

The stadium, built for the 1987 All-Africa Games, and recently renovated, was packed for the match between Mathare United and Tusker F.C., who both play at the stadium. Kenya is also located near a plate boundary, since the African plate is in the process of splitting into the Somali ad Nubian plates down the East African Rift. However, there are rarely earthquakes here since divergent boundaries don't have plates clashing against each other; they are moving apart. Magma flows through the gap, creating volcanoes, such as Mount Kilimanjaro or Ol Doinyo Lengai, which last erupted in 2007. 

The whistle blew and the game began. Tusker quickly put one it, followed by a goal from Mathare in the 44th minute. It appeared as if the game was going to be a tie, but Tusker put one in during stoppage time to win it, 2-1. It was a great game.
