I was stopped in my tracks seeing these tracks. It was so powerful to me to see the big and small bare feet. Who was following who? |
Morning comes and I was a bit damp in my roomy tent I had all to
myself! I didn’t think much of it as it had rained and was pretty damp
outside---I come to discover later that I had been flooded! hahaha that
was hilarious!
On top of this fact i step outside my tent am looking around talking to
whomever is awake and then BAM! After 5 minutes of standing
aimlessly around i shout “Oh my GOD!” these rapids were practically on
top of our campsite. IT was a glorious vision to wake to!
Saturday was a mellow day. It began with a paparazzi-filled yoga sesh
(the Kenyan’s had no idea what we were doing and kept sneakily snapping
pictures with their phones. I explained, this is exercise that comes
from India long ago where you do a lot of stretching to strengthen your
body and mind. Their response, then why don’t you call it
stretching!? I couldn’t argue with that!) Next was eggy bread (or
rather, French Toast -- although those with closer ties to Britain
denounce anything French and hate to give them credit, enter, eggy
bread!) Followed by a nature hike with a guide named Jumo (who i swear
was eating some berries that was getting him all sorts of stoned) There
was a little dip in the water and eventually dinner! Our dinner was a
hand selected chicken of which the campground staff killed, de-feathered
and de-boned for us, then started a BBQ for us and a fire pit, turned
on the generator for light and refrigeration of Tuskers® Beer. We all
sang songs while Zoli strummed his guitar and Dave thumped away on his drums. It was glorious!!

a tiny ambassador to the Sagana hills, with a swollen eye and a makeshift toy car greeted us as we walked through his neighborhood |
|
our tiny friend's neighborhood consisting of (from left to right) a grain store, a home and another home or shed |
|
The funny berries Jumo was munching on. (after I took the picture, i showed him in the play back and he said it didn't even look like his hand. And for some reason it didn't. I don't know why that conversation has stuck with me, but it has) |

Local boys doing their chores and playing games with us. The laughed and ran when we said Jambo to them. Then when we I took their picture, the proceeded to ask for money |

the muddy, run-off river was all milky in color because of the rice patties littering the area |

LOOK AWAY IF YOU ARE A VEGITERRIAN: The hen in my friend Peter's hand (Peter manages the camp) was de-feathered and de-boned just for us. And she was yummy |
