Happy happy B-Day to Teatuahere!!

On to the travels!

Today we took one of the local transports, a Toyota van reconfigured to hold 30 people (okay, 20, but still...) to the city of Kisumu, which sits on Lake Victoria, which lake is, you will remember from 8^th grade history, the headwaters of the Nile River.

It was about a 2 hour ride spent with my left leg wrapped around my neck.

Kisumu is the city next to the small town (about 10 minutes away) where President Obama’s dad’s family is from, the town where his grandmother still lives.

Nope, we didn’t stop by for a visit, but we did spot Donald Trump hot on the trail of some really big stuff.....

All in all a very cool day spent buying souvenirs at the Masai Market, eating, of all things, pizza, at an ex pat restaurant and cramming 8 of us in a 3 passenger converted motorcycle to get around the city.

Who needs yoga when you have transportation like this?!
