    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[448] this first photo goes out to Remy & all his GA boys.

More on that story later. Views[671] 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[601]
