I fully admit that picture posts are lazy because they don’t require me to think too much about what I want to write, but I thought it might be fun to illustrate more of the things I’ve been talking about! Plus I have a few more MBs to burn off before I leave Kenya tomorrow.
A fairly typical landscape in South Nyanza province:
A very upset chameleon the kids found one day:
My bed in the volunteer room:
After we acquired a chair for our room (very exciting):
Fetching water from the borehole during the dry season:
Mercy doing her laundry:
Doing homework with the girls one evening:
Faith and I:
Loading up a piki-piki for the December holidays:
Lastly, the staple of our diet, ugali and sukuma. (Appetizing, eh?):

My flight really does leave tomorrow, which is hard to believe. I've been thinking a lot about reverse culture shock. I never thought that I would have a hard time adjusting back to a culture, or--at the very least--living conditions that I grew up with, but the first few days out of the orphanage were rocky. I'll see if I can articulate that in a future post, but I make no promises.
I'll see many of you soon. Can't wait!

Just say the word -- we can fry up some cornmeal and help alleviate some of that culture shock.
"Fry" implies a tasty component like butter or lard. Ugali does not contain either of these calorie and deliciousness-enhancing substances, but thanks for offering; you're a peach.
