Kenyan Living

After our short safari, we hung out in my sister's camp for several days and visited some of the villages she's working with. This was far and away the highlight of the trip. I loved the chance to see what she has been up to and live a little bit of the life she's had over there. A few pictures:

We visited the home of Kididing, one of my sister's watchmen. This picture shows him, his wife, and kids, including his baby twins, in the blue outfits. They were scared of my sister because she had driven them to the doctor weeks before when they were sick. This is right after we had tea in Kididing's home, which we're standing next to.


We also had tea in the home of James, my sister's translator (though she speaks Swahili pretty well now.) This is James's wife and kids/nieces. The house had a similar construction to the one in the previous picture. Note the branches on the outside, but the smooth dirt on the inside.

Baking a cake for my sister's birthday. We had a recipe, ingredients we bought in town, but no means of measuring anything. The cake came out anyways, and we had enough time to write Happy Birthday.

Another part of the trip that always made me smile was the off-road driving (I'm such a guy). We drove everywhere in my sister's Land Rover. Mostly we stuck to the worn paths, but when there weren't any paths, we drove anywhere. In this video the sun has just come out following a downpour, but the path is still flooded.
