Beautiful Kenya

Kenya surprised me by how beautiful it is.  The skies were breathtaking and I saw some of the most incredible stars.  I was also surprised by how lush and tropical it was...there were mango and avocado trees everywhere.  Here are a few more scenery-like pictures.

Group shot in Masiland while we waited for our vehicle to be fixed.  We had to wait 2.5 hours here while a car drove to the nearest town to get oil for our vehicle.  At least it was a beautiful wait!

Street shot in Ngong.

Another street shot of Ngong.  The vehicle on  right is called a matatu and that's what we traveled everywhere in. They were very bumpy rides!

A shot of the Kibera slum in Nairobi.  Kibera is the second largest slum in Africa (the largest is in Egypt). 

Kibera.  It took us 12 minutes to drive by the whole slum.

A shot of Ngong. Those clouds are telling of the weather we sometimes had!

Another shot of Masailand while we waited for the oil.

Typical Kenyan roads.

I think this is such a powerful picture.  It was taken by my friend at the LP daycare.

Sun setting in Masailand.  The sunsets and sunrises were breathtaking there.
