monkeys, kids, and an amazing culture…

Nairobi, Kenya

We have been extremely busy for our first few days imersing ourselves in the local culture. Our experiences so farĀ  have included church service at the local orphanage for aids kids (Nymboni) which was uplifting and thought provoking (picture five foreigners/mzungus with local kids on our laps throughout the service - it was great), a visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Centre where they rehabilitate orphaned elephants (and we were lucky enough to see different monkeys running around), a tour through Karen Blixens house and plantation and trips to local grocery stores and markets. It’s all been amazing and truly a unique experience. More details to come soon (with some photos)…

Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

On New Year’s Day 2006 I was standing atop the roof of Africa with a group of fellow travels from BootsnAll. It was an amazing experience and something that I will be proud of and remember for the rest of my life.

The crew at BNA has put together a video with a few highlights of the experience. I just watched it tonight and got a flashback to that amazing week.

If you want to check it out, you can watch it here.

Here’s to fantastic memories!
