Some of my favorite pics from the trip:

Seriously. Who is that cute?!

When I want to complain about cooking...

If I asked a Kenyan woman what I need to do to prepare a meal, this is what she'd say:

"Cut the wood for the fire,


carry the wood home,

fetch the water a bucket at a time,

if you're luck enough to have meat, kill it (normally a woman's job. This boy is either very out of the ordinary, or just wanted a picture to be taken of him.),

cook,

cook,

cook.

And do it all with a baby on your back and a smile on your face!"

And I would reply, "what happened to picking up a rotisserie chicken at the store?!"

Watch the video on the previous post to see how they carry the huge piles of sticks on their head. Seriously impressive.
