We had spent 2 days in Nairobi prior to setting off for Northern Kenya. We had gathered supplies, food, water, and batteries for running medical equipment which were needed on the trip. Here you see Tom Kamau, Sam Wilson, Steven Loysanis (spelling -- I'm not sure), myself (Joy) and Sherri Wilson in her famous pink hat. We paused here for our first photo shot against some of the most magnificient mountains I've ever seen. In the background you see the wonderful tarmac road which the Chinese built. President Kibaki is known as the "Roads President" because under his presidency, roads have been built to places where only pot holes big enough to swallow your land rover in awful dirt roads existed. Wow--has this opened up the country. Industry, construction endeavors, and technology are booming. We left this behind once we left Isiolo. Now the journey into what I call the "We Knew Nothing Territory" begins. Click on the Isiolo page to see more about our journey.
We see our first Samburu Warrior at this photo op!
Take a look at the beads on this young child's neck! Pretty spectacular huh? I'm pondering on the beauty of these children, the contrasts in their clothing, the idea of where in the world did they come from? There was no village that we could see anywhere near us. It was a curious, friendly bunch of youngsters who appeared out of nowhere as we stopped to take a picture of the mountain.
