Family is the BEST & Petra Made Me Cry!
After several misadventures we are all back together again in Amman, Jordan and VERY grateful for family!
Government Elephant
There are occasionally these surreal moments that make me remember that we are very far from home. Plus I discover my next band’s name.
Airport Parkour
Travel superpowers unlocked! Paul and I escape Nairobi and proceed to bounce around the globe for 36 hours, navigating ticketing obstacles, making a number of hotel false starts, and eventually landing in Amman in the aftermath of a snowstorm.
The Tallest People in the World
Out interactions with the Masai in Kenya were fascinating and confusing on many levels. They are in the middle of a massive generational shift, trying to balance a reverence for their history and culture with vibrancy in the modern age. I know I will be processing our conversations and experiences for a long time to come. Plus, they are very tall and found my height hilarious.
Together Again!
After several misadventures we are all back together again in Amman, Jordan and VERY grateful for family!
Gentlemen in Nairobi
I never made it through Amor Towels’s A Gentleman in Moscow, but I have seen a few movies and Disney programs about people who live in hotels. I did not imagine I would be one of them.
DAMMIT COVID!
Well after nearly 6 months, 22 countries, and over 40 cities, COVID finally caught up with us.
Staying Positive
If you’re going to be trapped somewhere by COVID, there are worse places than Nairobi.
Roses & Thorns and Wild Animals
Many changes to our initial itinerary. We were on Plan D, now Plan E.
The Hippos Made me Cry
Hippos are territorial, aggressive, deadly, and smelly. I loved them. The other animals were cool too.
Snapshot: Teenagers are the same everywhere
From the hills of Eastern Kentucky to the grasslands of Kenya, teenage boys are pretty much the same anywhere. And I kind of love them.
A Dream Realized
So many awesome experiences over the last 5 days, but this one was the best!
Snapshot: SNOWBALL fights!!
So, there’s history and culture and language and all that jazz. And then there’s snow. Which has to be thrown at people. And jumped in. And driven across in all sorts of conveyances. Because snow.
