    Chaim & Hillary feeling great after an amazing night's sleep in the free room we some how were given at the Thompson's Falls Lodge. Views[436] this first photo goes out to Remy & all his GA boys. Turns out they have On the Run in Kenya too! Thought you'd get a kick out of that Views[288] Thompson's Falls Lodge - site of our first Shabbat in Kenya. We spent it camping -- or tried to. More on that story later. Views[668] So, one of my favorite things so far is the sign painting -- outside the big cities it's all old-school advertising and there are some really talented sign painters floating around Kenya. I'll share more examples later. Views[597]
