Latest Pics!

Pictures! I made it this far yesterday then the power went out. Keep your fingers crossed this will post:

These are my puppies, Wewe (black) and Kuja (tan). Wewe (pronounced WayWay) is really terrible and is trying to eat Kuja in this picture. I finally gave them each their own bed and that helped a bit.

Here I am with the group of volunteers I met enjoying the sunrise view over the rainforest from the highest point.
Here's the view a bit later as we walked down the hill to the bat cave. Isn't it beautiful? I can ride my bike here.

Here's the bat cave. Hundreds of eyes peering out through the darkness.

Typical view from the back of a Matatu. 20+ people in a 14 seater

This is Mama Agnes harvesting maize in my back yard

Mama Agnes, Mama Nora, and some neighbors sorting out the harvested maize. Most of it will be ground into flour for Ugali.


This is the Medical Day I helped out with. It was sponsored by a British group. Some of them are in this picture. The guy with the hat in the middle was a drunkard who followed us around, and that's a Kenyan Red Cross team that worked with us.

I like this picture becuase it reminds me of what will happen to my project if I don't get people motivated to help themselves. This is a Peace Corps project, an orphanage for AIDS orphans, that failed as soon as the volunteer left. I wonder how many projects suffer the same fate...


Here's my first car! I don't think there are any left in the states (I haven't seen one since I sold mine), but there are at least two I've seen in Kenya. I miss my Capri.
