Here's Barb and I on Kevina and Njoro's wedding day - with our new custom made threads! They had shirts made for all the men, and Barb and Naiomi got to pick out dresses made from kangas, large rectangular pieces of fabric with different prints on them.
We'll try to get some more pics up soon, though the net access here is pretty slow. After the wedding the family went on a safari trip to the Maasai Mara, a large national park on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. After a 7 hour drive over some VERY bumpy roads, we popped the roof up on the vehicle and stood up for a better view. The first evening we saw zebras, a group of elephants, and the highlight of the trip - a cheetah taking down a gazelle. Crazy! We got up close and personal - the cheetah was only about 30 feet from the truck.
We're now in Uganda with Barb's sister Jen and Jen's husband Rod. It's quite a contrast to Kenya - not as developed, but very beautiful and green. There's lots of rainfall here as well as plenty of sunshine.
We'll be back next week - hard to believe that our trip is wrapping up so soon.
later,
nate

Nato. Happy Birthday from a land far far away. Since you are not here, i will eat your birthday cake, drink your Scotch and wear your birthday gift (silk undies). Enjoy yourselves.

Aw, thanks so much! I hope you keep a bit of that scotch for me...but you can keep the undies for yourself. I'm bringing back a full supply of these bikini style underwear that they sell here - apparently the only style of underwear that they sell here. Heh.
I want some bikini style underwear. Can you grab a pair for me? Leopard skin if available.
