A view of the fied and sky at a school near the house of a Kenyan member of Parliament.
A dusty road at dusk.
The hills near Kitale, about a 1.5 hour drive from Bungoma
In Uganda, these monkeys and about 10 others were playing in the trees overlooking the White Nile.
View from table's edge at Red Hat.
Down the road from the Kalenjin/Nandi village I visited last week.
Sunset one evening out the front window of the Prado; Martin driving.
One night we built a fire. Long exposure times with Wendy and Pauline's glowing sticks making shapes in the air.
Trucks and a mountain near the Kenya/Uganda border.
One of the Internet cafes that I go to is upstairs in this building. In fact, I'm there right now. Also, great cow don't you think?
One of the nicer roads--many/most are really pockmarked with car-sized holes.
A typical classroom. Two or three students usually sit at one of those wooden desks. The walls are brick, the chalkboard and chalk are the only teaching equipment. The students have pencils/pens/notebooks to take notes and complete homework. This school was really out of the way--probably a 2 hour drive from Bungoma on dirt roads.

Hey!
We are enjoying keeping up with your blogs and love the pictures as well. MS likes to see you in them and says how much she loves her cousin. Her second favorite picture is the monkeys. Too much ugali? impossible!

Uncle Don, "car sized holes" may have been a bit of an exaggeration--but in fact, the roads here are unpredictably smooth or terrible. And by terrible, I mean it looks like there were sink holes all over the place. The blacktop is missing, and there might be a crater in the road--some of which are the size of cars.
To the Texans, glad that you're enjoying the blog. Make sure you show MS my photo of the hippo! I've been having such an incredible experience--most of it completely obliterating my preconceptions of what being a nation in the 'developing world' means. Kenya has been so remarkably unlike anything I've ever seen before.
