Kenya...wow!

Kenya is amazing. I love it here. I love how our tripped has worked out and the order of our adventure. We left malindi and the children (tore my heart out) almost a week ago and went on an amazing safari (separate post later) and then headed up to meru to visit Rebecca's aunt. 

The countryside alone on each part of the trip has been so different. Malindi is very coastal with lots of coconuts and banana's and flat land. The drive to the Maasai Mara through the great Rift Valley was breathtaking and very much how I imagined Africa and finally the drive to meru we came back to mountains and hills and forest like area. 

It all just changes so fast in a short distance. I feel so lucky to be experiencing this place and know I can't do it justice in writing or pictures but I love it!

All along any drive you pass through so many small towns with markets selling fresh produce and other miscellaneous items. People hanging around all day, there is so much poverty here but so much beauty and kindness as well it has been inspiring! 

Rebecca's aunt has been a fountain of information and it has been great to get to talk to her after being in kenya for 6 weeks. I am learning so much about this place.
