nairobi -haven't seen much of it!

there's been a lot of conference rooms and hotel rooms on this trip to africa, and photos have been limited. here are some of the pictures i've been able to get so far...

 i've been thinking about turning into a vegetarian. i wonder why.

we were listening to a PPT presentation at a local organization--while cute kids were playing soccer.

working over dinner at the pool. at least there's beer?

windfarm in amsterdam

took these photos flying into amsterdam. i first saw the windfarm, and then saw the goal plant behind it. quite the environmental shot, if i do say so myself.

 

victoria falls

i'll be traveling to nairobi for a 2 week trip for work this weekend, and have been thinking about my first trip to africa- the trip was responsible for getting me into this international development stuff in the first place, after all. our professor (a minister) guilted many of my fellow students into attending church in livingstone on a sunday...but brea and i had other plans. we spent the entire day at victoria falls...relaxing and enjoying one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

we took so so many photos-below are some of my favorites.

sunset on the zambezi river the night before.

we stayed at nyala lodge in livingstone- it was affordable, but very nice...a good mix of camping and a hotel...with the coolest waterfall showers! http://www.africanencounters.com/nyala-lodge/

happy birthday to the wonder dog. quigley is 14 today...and still looking as sophisticated as ever.
