More Sights on our Journey

This very tall cypress tree has bougainvillea growing all the way up! It was beautiful, brilliant purple.


We encountered literally dozens and dozens of children going home for lunch from the school at Kahawa village. Because they're mostly all Kikuyu, they greeted us with, "How ah roo?" (How are you?)


Notice the woman on the right.
She's carrying a load of grass, likely to feed some cattle.



This woman is carrying a heavy load of firewood. She's probably spent several hours to cut this. Depending on how large her family is, it may last her a couple of days. Rural Kenyan women have a hard life, to put it mildly!
