Kenya Update 9/21/09 - Ngong Hills

This morning I woke up at 6:00am to go hiking with some friends I have made here at ANU. It was an extremely fun day. We hiked up the Ngong hills just southwest of Nairobi. The hike was physically strenuous, but totally worth it. The hills were shrouded by clouds (like we were walking through nothingness!) for most of the morning. When the clouds finally broke, it was like we were on the top of the world! The Ngong Hills are very bare, so there was very little between us and the huge expanse of Africa that stretch out for miles and miles and miles. I really enjoyed spending time with the fellas, they are seriously energetic, and photogenic! I got some great pictures. Special thanks to my neighbor Rao Yi for allowing me to use his battery charger for my camera.

The nature here is so beautiful. I don't want to say its better than the Hudson Valley, but it sure is different. The trees look different and the mountains have formed differently. It's like seeing a different style of God's creation, and I love it. I've posted a link to a Picasa album for anyone to check out! Enjoy and God bless!
Just a mile from heaven...
