... talking a lot yesterday, we decided that although Lilian’s story is no doubt super sad, Lilian had the privilege of going to both primary and high school, which here, is definitely a privilege. Lilian told us she lived in a big house before, and we couldn’t help but think about all the little kids who live in extreme poverty now, and probably always will. I cannot imagine going from a comfortable living arrangement to what Lilian is living in now, but we know she will ...

... after we are done here and simply do not have the space in our luggage to carry around big bags of jewelry. This means that Kilonzi and the women would have to find a way to send us the jewelry in Canada… which would cost them quite a bit upfront that they most likely do not have. Secondly, both Den and I do not know where we are going to be in 1 years time, so really hashing out a plan is proving to be difficult. Thirdly, we face the problem of getting the money back ...

Finally, a bit of a preview for SE Asia. This was taken on our drunk rafting trip in VangViene. Gabe and I go off a rope swing thing together. It's fgoes ast. Cheers!

... despite the things most people would be complaining about(including me). I just walked around taking it all in and enjoyed the great weather. I had to change some money since I didn't have any local currency and it seemed to take me a long time to do it. I finally did and walked into the park which costs peanuts for me. It's just a little park that is fenced in with a plaque with all the names of the dead. 218 in all I believe. All Kenyans but 12 I ...

... was much anticipated, and one of our "splurges" that we had planned long before leaving Canada. We had dreamed of trekking the endangered Mountain Gorillas since we learned about them on National Geographic. We had arranged for an organized tour with Africa Travel Co. that consisted of 14 days of travel, starting and ending in Nairobi. During these 14 days we were to travel west from Nairobi, into the Masi Mara Game Reserve (north of the Serengeti ...

... and recycling, the issues and people involved in US politics, and even has a relative that lives in Winnipeg (but we'll forgive him for that). Geoffrey is a good example of many of the people that we have met and to since our arrival -- well spoken, friendly and respectful, apparently well educated, very knowledgeable about global events and well dressed. Many people think that Africa is a backward ...

"I'm very well thank you", "Yes it's my first time in Kenya and I agree, it's really beautiful", "Yes of course I'll tell all my friends to come", "You've never been to England but you support Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal?", "A ticket to Mombasa please", "No we can't stay in Malindi/Lamu/Nairobi another night because we're pushed for time".

... many as we could, but of course by the time we reached the younger ones we had run out and created total mayhem by having to turn them away. Nonetheless, we gave big hugs to as many kids as we could grab and reminded them to keep studying hard.
