There isn't an overlying theme to these photos. Plus I would like to share the following incident with you that has no corresponding photo: Mzito, Jayani and I were walking to dinner one evening when something flew into Jayani's eye. She gave a small yelp and stopped, and Mzito and I went to see what it was. In less than 10 seconds, out of seemingly nowhere, a crowd of people had surrounded us, someone was shining a flashlight into her eye so we could see better and someone else brought a tissue to clean her eye with. We quickly removed the offending object (a bug), everyone cheered, then went on their way. I've never seen such goodwill and a sense of community anywhere else. Now that is civilization.

Jayani eating Motumbo
Mmmm... cow intestines.... They actually aren't so bad. I think they're tastier than the dim sum variety.

Yum!

Bus
This was the bus we took to clinic every morning in Wote. I loved it. Joyous music would be blasting from the loudspeakers as we drove through the countryside.

Steve's Jeep
This jeep was fabulous. Cracks in the windshield, doors that barely close, non-existent shock absorption. The steering wheel was on the wrong side. Steering itself was dubious. It gets stuck at the bottom of hills. We were just waiting for the thing to fall apart. We named it "Umechoka" which is Kiswahili for "Are you tired?"

Jayani and Me on a Dhow
Jayani and I decided to take an evening cruise and seafood dinner while in Mombasa. I'm posting this photo because it was one of the only times we had brushed our hair and cleaned the dust off our bodies!

Relucant Dancer
As part of the cruise entertainment, Jayani was volunteered to act as a model for all the different ways 2 pieces of cloth can be worn

Fort Jesus is an old Portuguese fort that was built in the 1600s.
