Project Life - Week 14 (April 2nd - 8th)

It was been a very busy summer thusfar here. And we still have a lot planned for the remainder. How about for you?
Week 14 brings me to the first full week in Kenya. I took so many pictures this week and next, that it was really hard for me to narrow down what to use. Therefore, I choose once again to do a 2 page spread.

Left Side:
- Feeding giraffes at the Giraffe Centre just outside of Nairobi. So much fun!
- We got caught in a downpour at the Elephant Orphanage. We got absolutely soaked, but it was worth it.
- We had supper at an authentic Ethiopian resturant. Very different that what we are used to here, but still very good.
- Weekly Recap
- Spent a lot of time driving on this trip. For our first and longest journey, we took a 'coach' bus cross country. I got a lot of good reading in on this trip, including; The Hunger Games and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I included my bus ticket over these 2 pockets
- There are markets everywhere in Kenya. Here, we are at the food market in Malaba, just on the boarder to Uganda. The fruit in Kenya is amazing! Nothing like fresh fruit, especially the pineapple the ladies on the side of the road cut up and sold to us for something like 10 shillings (10 cents!)
- At the school where Ali teaches we were treated to more tradional Kenyan food. Maize and Beans the first day and Ugali, Sucuma Wiki, & Nyama the 2nd day. Interesting, but filling.


Right Side:
-Early Morning sunrise walk in Ali's town of Amagoro, Kenya. Surprisingly I was up... my clock was apparantly way off from where it would normally be here - lol, and we were rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. We also learned how much of a draw 3 white girls walking in the country can be. ;)
- The Impala Sanctuary in Kisumu was another amazing adventure. Here is where we pet the cheetahs! I included the admission ticket in this pocket as well.
- The hotel that we stayed in in Kisumu
- A tuk tuk ride with 2 of Ali's amazing fellow peace corps volunteer's out to a resort.
- A night out clubbing in downtown Kisumu - fun no matter what continent you are on!
- Celebrating Amy's birthday in Kenya! I brought little debbie cakes and candles from home for the celebration.
- We visited a resort with a pool called Kiboko (Hippo) Bay for an afternoon. It was nice just to sit poolside overlooking Lake Victoria.
- We also decided to visit a hooka bar on Sunday night for Amy's birthday. We had strawberry and mint flavors. It was a fun first experiance for me.


I used a past SC kit for the papers of this weeks Project Life.
Thanks for stopping by!
