Kitale

Wycliffe took me into town today. We were planning to check internet and set him up with an email account, but the power for the entire town (and possibly district) was out for the whole day. So instead we went to the local museum to learn about the history of Western Kenya. Wycliffe was an excellent tour guide, showing me all the little nuances of the various tribes in the regions in how they constructed their homes. We explored the museum and its various stuffed animals… it was kind of creepy –and therefore excited the little boy in me greatly– to walk around a dark, deserted museum. One more childhood fantasy checked off the list. Behind the museum there was a small rainforest which we walked and hacked our way through. Both of us mused of returning here with our girlfriends for a little outing and picnic.

I grew up in Kitale and went to that museum about twice. It was so expensive to get in. There are alot of things to do out there, ask about Saiwa swamp, visit mt. elgon and the rural areas! I hope you like it. I am currently going to school and just passed by to say hi and wish you the best. What school are you teaching?

May God bless the works of your hands
