Typical houses (at least in this area of Kenya) have mud walls (molded around a wooden frame) and metal roofs. Peter told me that even in the hardest rains the water doesn't leak through the mud or make it crumble!
The row of houses where Peter's pastor rents his rooms. This is where we stayed most of the time.
Typical roads in Western Kenya (this one is actually in amazing condition...they can be an adventure :)
A look out the matatu window in Eldoret. This is what the typical populated area looks like. It's so alive.
Another picture from Eldoret.

I thought I felt out of place being an American in Paris, but a mzungu in Kenya sounds like a much bigger contrast. Thanks for sharing the book and movie versions of your weekend!
I "move" (HAH! Yes, pun intended) that they install 'long-drops' in Lincoln dormitory...
Though, I'm sure Jon Dent wouldn't be too happy about them...
When can we see YOU in some pictures - that way we know you're actually there. And. Stuff......
