From Kenya with Love!

Habari from Kisumu, Kenya! We're currently in an internet cafe getting milkshakes to cool down while we wait to go on a boat tour on Lake Victoria to see hippos and the sunset. A week in, and we have toured Nairobi, gone on a safari, visited Bomet where Jon and Mandy are teaching which included lunch with a local family and a tour of a tea factory and farm, and stayed in a rain forest for a couple days of hiking. After some shopping in Kisumu, we'll head to the island of Zanzibar for some beach time (and hopefully swim with dolphins!). There has been mucho staring, pit toilets, and price gouging by the locals, baboons came after me while I marked my territory on the safari, and my dad keeps trying to sell me to the local men (I insist my dowry is 20 white elephants and 2 cheetahs, but he keeps being cheap and just wants a couple of cows shipped to the US). I've also been told a number of times that my skirts are very Kenyan and the locals keep assuming I'm living in the country - thanks Kelsey! ;)

More to come later, but for now, we are alive and well and having an amazing time!

Kwa heri!
