POETRY You have a poetic eye, as well as a poetic soul. Hope some poetry comes out this new adventure. Will be very surprised if it doesn't...after your return, when you've had time to reflect, if not before.
Grasslands and Beaches... Just the thought of the Masaii Mara grasslands and the superb beaches of Mombasa make me want to grab my suitcase and travel with you Kathryn. I experienced both in 2006, when I spent a month in East Africa.
You are in for an amazing adventure... and soul healing warmth, not only from the Kenyan sun, but also the Kenyan people.
I did it! Hi, Kathryn:
First of all, can I tell you how proud I am of you that you (a) decided to go to Kenya and (b) set up this blog?!!! I'm writing to tell you that I finally got it to work (it's confusing, but I'll get used to it) and I'm so glad that I'll be able to follow your trip almost immediately as you experience things. I can't wait for your first real post.
If you're getting homesick for snow, sleet, rain, yuck, cold, wind, yuck, grey, damp, dark, and more yuck, by all means let me know. I'll figure out how to post my own pictures so you don't miss anything!
Looking forward to seeing you at year's end! Love from all of us.

Your blog worked! Congratulations. The snowy tree helps me to remember why I'm trying, not so successfully, to journey south. Greetings from Carolina Beach, North Carolina, where it's 38C and I'm looking for firewood for the woodstove.
Will we see haiku here?

In a month, I'll leave winter behind for equatorial Kenya. Serendipitous journey. Like other aspects of my life, this is something unanticipated, although more welcome than summer's jolt. While the first winter storm jackscrews outside, pushing snow into corners and crevices, I am about to dig through summer clothes and to picture myself in the rush of Nairobi, on the grasslands of the Masai Mara, and the beaches of Mombasa. Imagine.... full info
