One last thing

I know I said I was done sharing the trip to Kenya but there was one, very important, thing I forgot to tell you. Kenyans love Ed Templeton! He was on televison everyday, his face was on t-shirts and billboards, his art was displayed at bus stops. It was strange because I'd imagine the average American doesn't know who he is. Seriously, I don't think anyone in Kenya knows who he is either. I made up that stuff for no good reason. Maybe I thought it was cool, or it would confuse you, maybe its the type of thing Ed would do... The truth is, on our way to the airport I did spot a Toy Machine sticker on the back of a car sitting near us in traffic.

you can't make this stuff up.

In my last post I said, with some confidence, that I would post again soon. I'm sure you must be asking yourselves "How can jbinuganda be so confident about his interweb access when, after all, TIA?" Well, my confidence comes from one place--France, because that is where we are spending Christmas. As they say "TIF" where the internet works just fine. So I'm here in les cite des lumieres chilling (cause its cold) and hopefully posting lots of pictures while I can. Joyeaux Noel et Bonne Annee. Paix

Trip to Kenya pt 2 part 3

I think these photos will wrap up the trip to Kenya; and its high time considering we took that trip a week before Thanksgiving.

First I fed this ostrich...


...then I ate its friends for dinner.


Rescued baby elephant. I didn't rescue it but I saw it.


More flamingos in Lake Nakuru. I recently heard there was a documentary made about
them (or the ones at Lake Naivasha) I haven't seen it but maybe you want to...?


The Rift Valley is one of those things that can't be captured in pictures or even really described.
A guide book said something about it stretching from the Middle East to somewhere in Africa
but I didn't really get the details. I also did not read the wikipedia article I hot linked. I went there you read it.


Whu'chu know 'bout bein' eaten alive?


Or being eaten by me after being grilled?

We tried to get as close as possible to this elephant. Right after I took this picture it took 5 steps straight toward us and shook its head as if to say "NO" then turned around and walked away. We let him be after that.


The widlerbeast migration happened just before we got there but there were a handful around.


Crested crane. It should look familiar to you.


...and just like that I'm 30.


Melissa took tons of pics of the trees, for good reason though. Some were pretty amazing.







Things are good. I'll be posting again soon. Take 'er easy.
peace

Trip to Kenya pt 2

Time is running out at the internet cafe and the computer is only halfway working. I'm uploading as many pics as possible. A trip to Lake Nakuru, day 2 in Masai Mara, and dinner at a restaurant called carnivore.... we ate crocodile. I turned 30 somewhere in there too.
You know what NEVERMIND (all caps means I'm angry)! This computer won't do what its supposed to do so I won't post pics this time. Maybe some time this week I'll post a bunch but in the meantime TIA.
