Way behind but some pics to kick things back off

I'm way behind on everything and in the States right now. I'm off to Rwanda tomorrow (long story) and will bring things up to date over the next few weeks. In the meantime here are some pics. I'm going to post several sets of pics since I actually have bandwidth here.

Here are some of pics from the Camel Derby:

Stuck in the mud on the hellish road to Maralal

Another look at the road. These trucks were stuck here for days.

My Peace Corps friend Mindy poses with Samburu kids. See anything funny in this picture?
