It's been over a month and I still haven't written about the more than incredible journey to Kenya we took in April. I'm writing this on a very rainy Tuesday morning in Uganda. I love the sound of rain, but it means no class for SWB since both our students and coaches walk long distances (sometimes up to 3 miles one way) to attend programming. Instead of being sad that it's another day I won't see my students before I leave (I'll leave that sob post for the next one), I'm attempting to be productive with the sounds of rain and Needobreathe in the background. I won't bore you with every detail of the safari, but I will show some pretty great pictures that we captured. Jill, her mom, and I took a monster 15-bus ride to Nairobi with a 3am stop at the Uganda/Kenya border and started our journey from there. We arrived in Kenya a day early and went to some pretty SWEET places! Here is a glimpse at the elephant orphanage and getting some love from the giraffes at Giraffe Manor:
Me, Jill's mom, and Jill right before our trek to the national parks!
Jill and I trying to be artsy as we pull into our first game drive: Amboseli National Park.
Backpackers shot with beautiful Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background!

My favorite shot of the trip. Casual staring contest with a giraffe.
The rest of the pictures are my favorite from the whole trip. I think they really capture (as much as a picture can) the amazing scenery and untouchable earth that I witnessed during these few days. I am still blown away by the beauty of Kenya, the landscape of East Africa, and the creativity of God. He is so GOOD!
