The surroundings

Some of the shops in the village:




Loved the sign:

A hair salon in Mitunguu. The client sits in the chair outside:


Anna's garden:

One of many beautiful flowers in her garden:

This was our breakfast every day. Eggs, wonderful yams, bread w/ butter & jam and fruit (which was always much better than the fruit in America):



When the shower worked (twice), this was all of the water pressure there was. Seriously.

This was our source of hot water, when it worked (once). You had to turn the water on first, let it run a bit and then push the electric switch. We just prayed that we wouldn't die in Kenya - naked and wet by electrocution:

This was the only source of electricity in our room (other than the mostly-non-working water heater). I also did a lot of praying when I flicked this switch to charge something:

Our river bath water (before my bath). I told you it was brown!

My mosquito netting:

A lizard on the ceiling above my bed. I named him Fred (and hoped he ate a lot of mosquitos!):

Chickens in the corn (much better than snakes in the corn, Harry!):

This was Team 3 (or the Texas contingency of it):

This is Anna, who cooked and cleaned and generally took care of the place where we stayed:

This was a bucket of rainwater for our bath one night (for 3 women). It was awesome!


Papaya tree where we stayed:

They, like everything else that grew in Kenya, were huge!

The "squatty potty" behind that building. This was about as close as I wanted to get:


very large mangoes!
