Almost Done

UGANDA | Sunday, 29 Jul 2007 | Views [600]

Today is my last day in Nabugoye - and I'll be sad to go.  While the week has not been so structured (nothing in africa really is) -- I have found a bunch of different ways to help out in the community.  These included, but were not limited to, teaching ... Read more >

We left Jinja and headed straight for Sipi Falls with a brief stop over in Mbale.  Sipi might be the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life.  We stayed at a place called Twilight where we pitched our tent on a terrace over looking a valley  and ... Read more >

I'm recovering, enjoing a slow morning, after a full day of rafting (approx 30km) down the Nile river.  We hit 12 groups of rapids all together including 5 grade 5 rapids.  I've NEVER seen water like this...it was crazy!!!  At one point when i was in ... Read more >

So, it's been well over a week since I wrote -- and it's not because nothing interesting has happened.  To the contrary, we had a great week on the main land in Tanzania visiting with Chaim's cousin Carolyn & her family and we even squeezed in a ... Read more >

Zanzibar-a-licious

TANZANIA | Tuesday, 3 Jul 2007 | Views [689] | Comments [1] | Video

So, we made it to Zanzibar yesterday. Just a three hour ferry ride from Dar Es Salam and I'm in LOVE with it here. It might as well be a whole seperate country from Tanznia - or a whole seperate continent, because it's that different. It's amaizngly ... Read more >

Three days and we covered a lot of ground.  6 hours out of Nairobi into the Maasi Mara.  Imagine driving 6 hours where the major obsticle in the road is the road itself.  I'm not kidding.  we drove at least half of the way out there on the dirt shoulder ... Read more >

KENYA | Friday, 22 Jun 2007 | Views [799] | Comments [2]

We arrived in Kericho a couple of hours ago.  It's a community that basically revolves around these huge tea plantations.  It's absolutely beautiful ... imagine rolling hills of finely manicured tea fields as far as you can see.  We're camping at a place ... Read more >
